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 ...

Tetris is your friend, or isn't it?

The next project I am about to start goes like this: I want to make a closet but not just a normal closet but one that doesn't stand on the ground but hangs on the wall, like a painting.  I do not make shelves in it as well, so the pieces stand just on top of each other.  With pieces I mean the 5 shapes that are used in the 'Tetris game'. I would like to call all the pieces together table ware. Although it are only 5 shapes and they are only good for little dishes, table ware is still the best specification .  The part where it involves my point of view as an artist is that this 'painting' can be reorganised by the owner, and I like the fact that because of all the pieces standing op top of each other you can't take what ever you want you have to find your way through.  The repetition of the shapes make the whole work together a very interesting piece of art to look at. I started by working out the shapes/components in paper to get an impr...
