"Fishing for God" Wall Installation '09, for client Gail Crosby, gailcrosby@aol.com
- 5 cement board constructions, joined.
- Length: 10 feet.
- Width varies from 5" to 14".
- All hand-made hi-fire porcelain tiles were thinset on 1/4" cement board.
- Grouted with sanded grout.
- Each section drilled so the boards could be applied to a wall, with screws for wood beams in walls or expanding anchors for wall board areas.
- Seams between boards were all grouted, so the work appears to be a seamless, big fish wave.
- The work was customized for the client who wanted the tiles to appear to be on a 'sandy' beach. Certain sayings were printed on the tiles: "We are all children of God," as well as, "Om sai ram." Also, a glass "Ganesh," rocks and a metal shell personalized it for this client.
Currently Showing small works at Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts, AMOCA, JANAM & Pacific Asia Museum Gift Shops.
Juls Pottery Newsletter - August 2008
Exciting News!
Our grandson, Brad, arrived from Chino City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, 4 months old, with his mom, Yuuko. They now reside in Silver Lake, with our son, Ken. Brad will soon be wedging clay with his grandmother and perfecting Japanese with his grandfather. We will save glaze-making for later. You need some math for that, but, since he is half-Japanese, the math should be easy.
Juls is now showing at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts, in Ojai, and the gallery space at the American Museum of Ceramic Art, in Pomona. She has recently prepared four more art mosaic panels for another Silver Lake Art Can Project, in collaboration with the Path Pals (19"W x 26"H, each.)
