Random grids and patterns that remind me of Cal Schenkel's artwork for Frank Zappa album covers, mixed with those great test patterns that appeared on television as late as the 1970s and 80s when TV stations actually went off the air at night. At about 2 or 3 AM the last B-movie of the night ended and they would play the national anthem to signal the end of the broadcast day. Yes, TV stations actually did not operate for a full 24 hours a day seven days a week (that would be called 24/7 now). Images below © blitzkrieg @ fotolia

Clay goes out on a limb with Denver Art Museum's "Overthrown" exhibit - The Denver Post

Clay goes out on a limb with DAM's "Overthrown" exhibit - The Denver Post:

"25 artists from across North America and Europe who are daringly pushing ceramics in directions never envisioned and transforming the field in the process.

The mainstream art world, especially the hip vanguard, has long dismissed clay as merely craft and not taken it seriously. But this sophisticated, cutting-edge exhibition makes clear that such perceptions are no longer possible. It has definitively come into its own as a viable, serious medium."
