Flesh and Dirt

Unfired clay has a distinctly different feel from fired or glazed ceramic. Firing clay makes it hard and permanent. It will never be anything other than what it is. Most of these will be recycled and live a new life as something else, just like we will. We are flesh and blood. With all the technology and man-made we are closing ourselves off from the natural world. Sometimes we need a reminder we are a part of it. If you open yourself to seeing all the little things you might normally overlook, your view on the world and your place in it might change a little. Let yourself breathe, feel, and play.
