I need to develop the bowl further, I want it to be thicker and shallower as it wont be primarily holding soil, and obviously I still want it to be quite beautiful as a stand alone piece. Knowing my transparent one has developed into being so because of the psychology of seeing the roots and colour, but also my own development of the idea that we connect shapes and colour to memories and thus the transparent for me is based on seaglass. I feel future pots should certainly have a similar story behind them. I don't want all of them to be the same as I do want to experiment with my material choice, so with some more exploration into natural occurring materials and textures like i did for the seaglass which came from my own memories of spending time on skerries beach, i'll develop the pots based around such materials like marble, lime, obsidian. amber - natural resin, etc.
ALSO, I've been trying to keep a few varying plants alive in the studio, a succulent I've had since November died on me the other day. But the dragons tongue and airplants have been doing really, I wanted to test the endurance of plants with little sunlight, but I don't think even the shabbiest of offices would as cut off from natural light as we are in this studio.
