Welcome to my new blog!
For those of you who don’t know me and my work please check feel free to
check out my website,(www.dvtceramics.com)
If you like what you see LIKE my facebook page (Dan Van Tassell Ceramicsand Mixed Media Sculpture) and follow my
progress! With that said, today marks
the first day in a new series of sculptures.
I have spent the last year mainly focusing on pottery and side projects,
but I have finally decided it’s time to get back to work on what is most
important to me, that being my sculpture.
I will be posting in-progress images over the next few months as the
work develops.
This is where I am currently working.
But for today, I will
start with where I began almost one year ago.
The work I am hoping to create to start the series is based on three
sculptures featured in my MFA Thesis Show: Semiotic
Systems, Ornamentation of Regret
The new works will be wall based like the previous three but
with a big variation, primarily in scale (smaller).
Also I will be looking to get back to my ceramic roots a little bit
closer and work more with porcelain as a primary medium. As always I reserve the right to change my
mind at will, but for now that is the tentative starting point. I am curious about how all the different techniques
and other materials I learned about in graduate school will change the way I
approach my more conventional porcelain sculptures from several years ago. I feel like there might be an interesting
middle ground worth exploring….but I guess we’ll see!! Thank you to everyone for your support and
please check back often as I will be posting updates regularly!
