Ceramics- Digital Clock


The idea: Is making digital clock that is actually analog.



As material I use porcelain in combination with wood more examples will follow. 




Just need a few more te get the four, eight combinations. (88:88)

Biscuit, finished.


Next step: To mill the holes in a wooden plank, where the pieces fit in.

Last week I have been to some kind of wood factory.
To see what they have got in store.
I have seen some nice pieces of wood with beautiful structures.
Here some pictures:






My preferences are going out to the Ceder Florida



Found out that this is a really expensive kind of wood.
Wanted to go for another kind but I fell in love with it's family  the Red Cedar: 


This is the (almost) final result.

Materials:
The parts are made from porcelain, 
with a transparent glaze on top.
 They lay on a Red Cedar plank.

Only thing left is to mill the holes in the plank where the pieces exactly fit in. Going to to that next week.




The finishing touch, a layer of lacquer

This is going to be my year, although I am going to try my very best to make this my year, my year. It means I am going to graduate around May 2013. For this I am working on a big project and I want it to be stunning, mind blowing and more! To begin with, I want to take my Tetris project as a base for this new project. The elements that fascinated me are: - The pieces all together make something new (this can be changed every time). - The role that the owner has towards his own work. - The multifunctional pieces, they can be used for other purposes as well. With this in mind I started thinking about this new project.  Somewhere during the summer holiday I found this pictures of myself. I am around 1 year old. I put it in a frame, and I became more fascinated every time I looked at it. Me being so unaware of what is going to come up to me in live, having so much fun that very moment. I am happy. So I wanted to use this photo of me, because I feel very

This is a new course I am joining, it started last week, Monday 12 March. In this course we first talked about public art, street art and environmental art. The teacher introduced us to these kinds of art by showing a powerpoint with works in there from: Banksy Anish Kapoor Niki de saint Phalle Antony Gormley After that we got the assignment: Combine things like street art, environmental art and public art. Tell the public your story, your style and everyone's creative philosophy in this project. Make your own public work for one day. I came with the next idea: I will make make ball shaped pieces of porcelain. I will stand somewhere in the public space where a lot of people are passing by. I will ask the persons who pass by, to grab 1 ball and throw it at the ground. Before they do that I will ask them to, when they throw it,  think about something that upsets them  or that makes them angry (in their life or world wide). I will collect
