processing and looking

photography by David Meredith

I've had ceramist's block lately. It's been difficult to get myself to the studio, and impossible to bring myself to make something. I read in my horoscope once that my life will alternate periods of intense activity with long periods of rest, and processing. I believe I am in my processing time, during which I have been just looking. Above are images by David Meredith, a New York-based photographer. The ceramics used by the stylist make me want to get my hands dirty, to make something beautiful. I want to start throwing on the wheel again, to get back to making shapes like these.
