After a big Fall storm, some people were brave enough to come and have a chat during the Reception for my show at the Ottawa School of Art.
Fellow ceramic artist Hilde Lambrecht got me a wonderful bottle of wine with a Seahorse on it called “Promised Land”. It was very “À propos” for this show. Thanks Hilde! Thanks as well to all of those who showed up and those who have already visited and left a note in my book, as well as those who will come prior to Wednesday (when I’ll take it down).
A big thanks to Dawn Dale as well for graciously accepting to interview me for a YouTube video.

Nice!

In my living room, I have an Ikea display case where I put some of my favorite pieces, as well as other artists’ work and some of the seashells and rocks I collected over the years. We had to childproof it recently. 🙂

On my trip to the Southwest part of the US, I saw a lot of pots from the Pueblo People (formerly known as the Anasazi, a Navajo word for “The People”) who are still very much inspired by their ancestors techniques to make either traditional or modern potteries. Here are some photos I took in the Far View Visitor Center (Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado).

P.S.: Please note I did rewrite some terms from the information cards.

Durant mon voyage dans la partie Sud-ouest des États-Unis, j’ai vu beaucoup de poteries des peuples Pueblo (anciennement appelés Anasazis, mot navajo signifiant “Le Peuple”) qui sont toujours très inspirés par les techniques de leurs ancêtres pour produire des poteries traditionnelles ou moderne. Voici quelques photos prises au Centre des visiteurs “Far View” (Parc national de Mesa Verde, Colorado).

P.S. : Veuillez noter que j’ai changé certains termes des cartes d’information.
