The beginning of an end!
It's very nice seeing the exhibition come together after all of the hard work. It's interesting to see how the sculptures interact with the space they are in. Originally I made three ceramic sculptures and from this the organisers selected two pieces. I am happy that the organisers decided to display my spherical sculpture as I was not sure they would select this but it is good to see that they did and their decision to display it on the wall.
As I only had a short time to create my work, I did not think I would have the time to create three sculptures. I focused all of my attention in the beginning of the symposium on making two sculptures. I wanted to create something complete to the best of my ability. However when I finished making two sculptures I realised I had the time to create a third one seen on the wall. I decided I would not be so meticulously strict with its creation. Therefore I was more experimental as I was safe in knowing that I already had two finished sculptures.
Thank you to the organisers at International Ceramics Studio, Kecskemét, Hungary for organising the symposium, for inviting me and putting on an immersive thought provoking exhibition.
