I originally envisioned a circular piece, and my challenge was to create a figure that would fit that composition without distorting it too much.

“Next step was to hollow out the piece for kiln firing. This stage can be scary and intimidating but you just have to know what to do. I suggest practicing with smaller pieces first and I made a video tutorial for you guys to learn how to do exactly that, link is in my profile 🙌😁 // Work in progress for Hi-Fructose Presents: The Art of the Mushroom at The Compound Gallery, opening October 20.

“Finally came time for the mushrooms! I chose enoki for their graceful and magical quality // work in progress for Hi-Fructose Presents: The Art of the Mushroom Exhibition at The Compound Gallery // opening October 20 // as I mentioned in my previous post, this piece is already finished and at the gallery but I wanted to catch up on sharing the process with you guys because this one was crazy! @hifructosemag @thecompoundgallery.”

“Finally she was ready for the kiln! Thank you to the wonderful and talented @earthendreaming for your crucial help during this important step 💛✨ Please don’t read into these photos for process insights. Due to time constrictions, I broke all kinds of rules and not everything went as smoothly as it should have 🙃 // Work in progress for Hi-Fructose Presents: The Art of the Mushroom Exhibition at The Compound Gallery // opening October 20 // as I mentioned in my previous posts, this piece is already finished and at the gallery but I wanted to catch up on sharing the process with you guys because this one was crazy!”
