"The Camera Has Been Drinking......not me"

Here's some images of new work on display through December at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, LA.....I'm probably the last person I know without a smartphone, so I enlisted some help in taking a couple of quick iPhotos.  A few are a bit out of focus, but I'm still grateful and will hopefully have more to post by the end of the month.

This is the second installment of their "Artist Spotlight" series.  The first one featured ceramist Mark Derby, who really set the bar high!  I am honored and humbled to be in such company, and I think this body of work provides a good counterpoint to Mark's green lichen- glazed, terracotta sculptural vessels.

All of the pots here represent the reason for me being somewhat of a  reclusive since August, as well as a glimpse of things to come for my show at the Carol Robinson Gallery next month.

In a classic display of bad form, I overbooked myself for 2 back-to-back shows (in the same city, no less).  Actually, that's not entirely true......we originally talked about doing this show at the Ogden last January but, at the time, I was waiting for a bunch of pots to be shipped back from Tennessee.... The new work's better, I think.

And I like to stay busy.  It keeps the mind and hands active.....'less susceptible to the distractions of New Orleans.  Or, at least, that's my mantra for the next 3 weeks.....

...classic celadon.

...this one's bigger, in person.

....larger versions of my covered jars w/ pierced knobs.
