Philosophy

 

Welcome to my Philosophy Section. Here I can tell you a few of the ideas behind how and why I'm working the way I do. I'm very much up for working with other people on collaborations and this is the ideal place to find out if my ideas and yours are likely to mesh well.


First up is a piece about Sustainability, a general information piece on how I hope to move from a position of poverty and unemployement to one of becoming part of the community and environment I find around me.


Next is a piece about how Working with Clay as a medium has expanded my frames of reference and engaged my interest as nothing else has before.


Then we have a piece about my more general Philosophies of Life.


And a piece about the benefits of Amaturism over Professionalism.


There is also a piece on the Forms I choose to work with and explore.


And finally a link here to the dissertation I wrote for my Ceramics course, "Shamanic art in the Twentieth Century" - a comparison of the work of Pablo Picasso and Andy Goldsworthy viewed through a spiritual perspective.
