Today is 11.11.11. The other day in the ceramics studio two fellow potters talked about various upcoming events to celebrate this alignment of ones. They're both yoga instructors. One mentioned a place near Joshua Tree - a perfectly-domed structure with incredible acoustics which will host a crystal bowl event today. Attendees can sprawl out on the floor and bathe in the clear vibrations emanating from the crystal bowls. Last year I was a little obsessed with this idea. I regularly looked up 'bowl meditation' on youtube and tried to participate in the experiences from home.
I made this vase a few months ago. I dipped the greenware in black slip three times and created a tulip pattern. I left it unglazed except for the inside The pattern created by dipping reminded me of some of Isamu Noguchi's Akari lights. I have a plain white lamp at home and placed the vase next to it for a while. I liked the way they spoke with each other. I eventually gave the tulip vase to my friend Adam.
