Buss #3

Hans Borgonjon
Filigree Crown
10x15x15

This piece is beautiful and I wish I had actually done this assignment on time.  As Steve says "If you're not cheating, you're not trying."  So.  With that introduction, I'd like to say, again, this piece is breathtaking.  I can imagine wearing this as a crown, how heavy it might, or might not be.  It would probably not fit on my head, but would be around my neck.  I like that you can see where the clay sagged from the weight of the clay above it on the bottom right hand side of the photograph.  From experience, this type of work doesn't like to stick together that well!!  I am impressed.

I think that for me, more than anything, is the display of this piece.  I want to be inside that spotlight, in front of that window, in the center of those tangles of ceramic.  I'd like to stretch my hand and arms through the loops and see how the clay feels on the soft skin of the inside of my arm.  I feel like I could meditate in this space, perhaps even with people watching because it feels like a nest, and it feels protected to me.
