"a piece of this"

so for my first solo exhibition in Washington DC, i was fortunate enough to exhibit my works at Romulo Hall at the Philippine Embassy. thanks to all that attended the opening and shared the night with me... the show was a success and inspired me to create new works and go in another direction.

"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!

"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...
