Hey Kelly,
I need to see some photos of Patrick's show.
You made me want to see it but I didn't find any online.

I am so glad to have clayart back, though I have certainly been busy
enough in the studio not to have been sitting around sighing about it.
Patrick is suddenly done, graduated, gone. The kids and I drove to
school yesterday to check the tanks on the salt kiln for this weekend's
firing, and all that remained of Patrick was empty shelves and some
bisque he didn't have room to pack. It felt really weird and I drove
home feeling a little lonesome. I guess my own EMU shelves will be empty
in twelve days... yikes.
Patrick's show was everything Patrick is -- generous, larger than life,
layered with metaphors and a sense of humor, and with
religious/Christian overtones of fellowship and ritual.
He solved the problem of those empty white walls by making them
disappear. When you entered the gallery, all lights were on an enormous
white table running the length of the gallery, blazingly lit against the
dark walls like a scene from the last supper. An enormous
shino-bowl-stack fountain was at the center, and gigantic platters with
Patrick's shino experiments and temmies and such, lined the sides,
loaded with food. Real food. Roasted chickens and bread and desserts..
set up in such a way that the person looking at the pot HAD to touch it,
handle it, experience it.
Instead of paper plates and plastic cups, guests used tumblers and
plates thrown by Patrick, in an assortment of glazes and firing-styles.
My kids took forever to choose, picking up several, looking at color and
how it fit their hands -- and then they chose a plate to match. As the
evening progressed I saw a couple of guests ask Patrick where to put the
dishes when they were finished with them -- he said, "Take it home. Use
it. Keep it, it's yours." He had actually made 100 plates and tumblers,
just to give away to anyone who came to his show.
My hubby and kids each chose one, like I did, and now we have lunch with
Patrick every day. Connor and I have looked at our shinos closely enough
to be able to distinguish whose is whose, and we like having our own
set.
Here's the best part: Dave McBeth, his undergrad prof from Tennessee,
had planned a spring trip to Maine so that he could surprise Patrick at
his MFA show. He had come to town an hour before the show, and parked
his truck out by the sculpture building, where I was staying in my
pop-up camper to fire the kiln. (His cat hung out in my camper during
the show.)
So when Patrick stood in the doorway greeting guests, this big bearded
man came up behind him and thumped him on the back. Patrick turned
around with a friendly "Hey!" --and then did a double take - "HOLY COW!"
Dave was a big influence on Patrick's work, esp. with shinos, so it was
perfect that he could come. I was also redeemed... I had a reputation
for telling all and being unable to keep a secret, but I knew Dave was
coming since NCECA and never leaked a word ;0)
Anyway, I don't have much time to miss Patrick, because I am in the home
stretch myself. I am mostly remaking, at this point, trying to come up
with an even better pot than the one selected for the show. I have all
kind sof mixed feelings about this body of work, but that's for a later
post.
Happy to have clayart back!
Yours

Hehe, Thanks Kelly. You make me blush. The show was good and I am glad
to be on this side. It still has not quite sunk in completely. Don't
know if it ever will.
As to photos of my show, a few folk have asked about it. I will have
them up as soon as I get landed. I have 2 years worth of reclamation
and sorting yet to do. I will drop a line to Clayart when I get them
up look for them around the first of next week on my website
WWW.PATSGREENPOTS.COM
Kelly, Knock em out!!!! You have this thing set!!
And I would like to take this moment to encourage all Clayarters to
send good juju towards Toledo and well wishes to Kelly!!!

Hey all,
As promised I have updated my website with a few photos from my
graduate thesis show. To kinda give you some notion of what I was
doing with this show I titled it 'In Form and Fellowship'.
It has to do with an overarching belief I have that functional ceramic
art, like all other art, has certain parameters under which it is most
aesthetically pleasing. Namely its function must be brought into the
equation. To not do so would be like looking at a sculpture from one
side or a painting in crappy lighting. Anyway thats just the tip of
what i was working with just to get you started. Anyone who really
wants to discuse that let me know, we can hash it out.
At any rate you can find the images on the first page on my website
www.patsgreenpots.com
hope you all enjoy!!
-Patrick Andrew Green, yup thats the one
