I need a strong statement relating my piece to the call for artists/prospectus for an upcoming show. Any feedback/critique is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Flower Box Statement:


Flower box is an exploration of hand built ceramics and assemblage. The piece engages the viewer as it is both aesthetically pleasing and thought provoking. It relates to the emergence phenomenon on both a literal and conceptual level. Flowers are a symbol of spring, literally emerging from the soil – Spring emerging from Winter, life emerging from death. The conceptual reference is that of the mother, the flowers and leaves resemble the woman’s form from which new life is borne.

Prospectus: Emergence

Artists are invited to submit completed works of art involving emergence phenomena. Emergence refers to the complex systems, properties, and patterns that arise from the self-organization of smaller parts. The term can also denote an individual divergence from a collective. Emergence occurs across many disciplines, including the biological and social sciences, mathematics, computer science, and physics. Appropriate artwork will explore the many emergent phenomena that exist, from computer software to patterning to design closure.

Selection Criteria:
• Quality of composition and artistic skill displayed.
• Knowledge displayed about the topic. A strong knowledge of the topic promotes a bold, engaging connection with the viewer.
• Work furthers the vision of the project – to explore emergence and its relationships to art or science or make an original statement about the issues/concepts surrounding emergence.
• Originality and creativity of proposed work.
• Work is appealing, interesting, or thought-provoking to viewers that visit the Natural History Museum - visitors that come without expecting to see art.
• Work is structurally sound, requires minimal maintenance, and is safe for installers and visitors.

another installment of the TO-DO list-apalooza

Feeling overwhelmed again... I missed the deadline for the Art Guild Holiday Art Fair . I could have asked for a late spot, artists are often late :) but I decided not to... LOLA GIANT will be happening again at Van Go Mobile Arts for TWO days! :) December 11th & 12th. So that works out I think...the ladies of lawrence artwork group have pretty good local connections, therefore media coverage and word of mouth. Plus it more closely fits my style. I do still currently have my Alphabetical Order piece on display at the Mulvane Art Museum through January 16, 2011. I am also going to enter it into the MyArtSpace Scope Miami 2010 Art Show happening at the same time as the Miami Art Basel which would be great publicity....and just great to show more work if accepted. I also need to get some more laced into the frame pieces of the "Domestic | Domesticated" series ready for sale/show. And I have a ton of wood blocks for caulk xerox transfers...still going to try la
