In my ceramic work I am thinking a lot about ceramic artists of Ancient world of Greece, and Old Europe (pre-Indo-European Neolithic and Copper Age culture or civilisation in Southeast Europe, centred in the Lower Danube Valley. c. 6000—3500 BC).
Even though I don't know names of these artists and masters of long time ago, I do feel their presence when I look at the ancient ceramic at the museums. I feel that we all are parts of that circle of artists in space and time. -- and we all do that beautiful magic of Art Creation.
4-Write 2-3 paragraphs about yourself, the artist(s) who influence you, describe some of your artwork and what motivates you to make work and explore the creative process. Please include any social issues that you are passionate about, and how you were inspired by the artist(s) you chose. Who are you? What artwork do you make? What artwork/artist(s) influences your art practice?
I think one of the issues that I am passionate about is to reduce plastics in the environment; and having beautiful ceramic dishes that last, or, when broken, can be restored, repurposed, or even if discarded, won't contaminate the soil with plastics, but just return back to being a mineral.
5-Post the two quotes from the Susan Sontag article that stuck out to you and your short response to these quotes and how these ideas might connect to your artwork.
“with still photographs the image is also an object" --
To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed.
photographic images, which now provide most of the knowledge people have about the look of the past

Photographed images [do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it,] miniatures of reality ... and ... package the world
“The photograph in a book is, obviously, the image of an image.“ -- here Ms. Sontag reminds me that a photograph started as a very material object, made of actual various materials like glass, metal, paper, silver and lots of chemicals; and requiring special Dark Room spaces for even just one little photographic object to exist.
