At first when I started to make a sculpture I thought a piece of seaweed would be cool. I loved the little mermaid growing up and I love the ocean. I love big bodies of water and swimming. I thought a piece of seaweed would be meaningful. So I started making it. The galez I used were white and hot tamale and sassy yellow and white. I fired it and a big chunk cracked off. So I thought maybe that is the universe saying I should not make that. So I started making a daisy the size of my palm. Daisy's are my grandpa Herbs favorite flower. He passed away during covid. I would love to make him a daisy and lay it on his grave. I also made a mushroom because that's just my style/personality. I used red and white for the mushroom and yellow and white for the daisy. For this artwork I used Develop a Craft. I have never made a flower or a mushroom so that was a new thing to make. These were practice ones but I think they turned out very great. I also used Express. I expresses feelings in this artwork. My feelings are hidden but the daisy means a lot to me. When my grandpa passed I asked him what his favorite flower was and he told me daisies. I always ask small silly questions to random people that will one day leave because that's what I remember them by. Like my sisters favorite gum is 5 Watermelon so when she's gone I sometimes chew 5 Watermelon if I miss her. It's the little things. Owen Mann has inspired me to make a daisy and a mushroom. He is so good at making clay flowers that I thought I should try it out. He is a very inspiring artist. He makes amazing work and has great technique.
