I survived this years Mudshow at BYU. It was my first foray into the Mudshow. Which is a show for Graduate and Under-Graduate Ceramics Majors. The show was really good this year, there was a wide diversity in the artwork created by the students. The work I submitted can be seen here: 26th Annual Mudshow.
Here is a taste of the Work I produced for the show.

I have always been drawn toward the Steampunk aesthetic and have been working on incorporating more of it into my artwork. for those not familliar with it the linked video is a great introduction to Steampunk and what it is all about. Also below is one of my favorite Steampunk themed webcomics Girl Genius. It is worth going back and reading from the beginning.

I spend a fair amount of time in my search for reference material for my sculptures and pottery. In one of my recent searches I came across Daniel Murtagh. He is a photographer who in his own words, ““My work has been described as victorian noir. For me it is a form of alchemy and poetry.” Daniel Murtagh’s work explores the notion of presence, the experience of a person not merely seen but also felt. The influences of both film and painting combine to create a feeling of time suspended.”
I greatly enjoyed looking through his portfolio and getting a look into his creative eye. I recommend taking a moment to look through his work*. Seeing other peoples artistic vision helps me to define my own.
