June 3rd, 2018: Ceramic Beasties

[xoxoxoBruce]

Debra Broz works as a ceramics restorer. While that can be challenging she has the professional training and experience to make it
routine after a while. It also gives her the tools to create fun stuff… just because she can.

I play on the idea of the “mad scientist”, cutting things apart and forming them into something else, like Dr. Moreau or Dr. Frankenstein, but I often find my initial inspiration in the biological world. Some pretty amazing mutations, anomalies and unusual traits have been found in animals over history. “Freaks” have always amazed, but also amused and often frightened people – they are a source of mythology and folklore that is pervasive.
