"Reunion: balance and form"


"reunion" took place nov. 16 at Artspace. "balance" by Rachy Cuna, and "form" by me. tito rachy's works were a kamagong base, with steel sheets cut into figures balancing crystal stones. there were different sizes and colors. this work shows how versatile an artist he is. as for me, still doing the same thing. pushing the clay to its limits with simple forms and lively glaze drips. "chain vase" was exhibited for the first time, a piece i made in 1997. "a piece of this..." was exhibited for the first time in its correct placement of pieces. a complete pie... it was a good night with friends, family, and even goldfish. take a look at the pix!

"the potters' circle"
last weekend sigrid (potter from sagada) came over to visit the potters from this area. we took her on a tour from jons house to mine, to jaime, to ugu, and ended at pablo's farm...

"Drips", Antipolo Arts Festival 2006


"drips", reflects my ongoing research on the versatile ash glaze. the thickness of the application is very critical. one extra second in the glaze can spell disaster. perfecting the ash glaze and its dripping effects will take me a lifetime to master. ashes are used from pine and ipil wood ash, and from Mt. Pinatubo volcanic ash. This exhibit serves as a warm up for my November exhibition with floral designer Rachy Cuna...

Exhibit at Budji's Gallery
an interesting exhibit which my works were placed within budji's furniture. the pieces are then viewed in their right element, the home. its nice to see the pots blend in with the furniture. its very easy to lose track of where the pots are, because they are seen as a part of the whole setting...




































































"Bulol" exhibition, Philippine Center New York


this exhibit was the best so far.. also a humbling experience making me realize what is out there that i still need to explore. these works are a cumulation of a years worth of experimenting with philippine clay and ash glazes. my family was there for support, friends came in from differen't states, relatives popped their head in, and walk-ins walked in. it was an honor to have josie natori cut the ribbon and start the exhibition...














we stayed there and manned the show for 2 weeks and got familiar with the city. i donated the "manunggul" to the Philippine Center, which now finds it home in the Consul General's office. i'd like to thank all those who have helped with this production and setting up, you all know who you are and theres so many of you.. all those with whome i got a chance to talk to and know better.. those who promoted the exhibit.. and all those who have my pieces now, for i know they have found a good home.. i'll see you all again December 3, 2007....

















"Crackle" exhibit of Kim Mendoza
well, kim's first solo exhibit was a success.. i think the next one will be better, for we discovered a new technique of firing the beautiful fan pot. wait till her next show.. thanks to family and friends who showed their support!

Philippine Center Exhibition in New York

Macsabal International Woodfire Festival 2005
The 2005 Macsabal Woodfire Festival was an interesting and fulfilling event. Over 10 countries were represented featuring over 30 potters of different technical skills. We shared ideas, gave advice, criticized, and complemented one another. I have learned how it is important to respect other cultures, just as it is to have faith in your own. I have realized how much i love my culture, and embrace the way of the Filipino. Pottery, like life, promotes growth.. 2005 macsabal was a reminder of how small i am in the world of ceramics; and also taught me that no matter how small you are, you play a major piece of the whole... come and take a journey with me and experience the earth, clay, fire, pots, people, animals, dance, bulol, smoke, mask, fish, bowls, smoke, maucaley, friends, and life...
