Hollie's Poem

Passing by
something catches his eye
He stops to glance
and then to look
He lingers here
His eyes appear
to be taking in
something sincere
He's drawn in now
really somehow
taken to a place
a different time and space
The colors are rich
breathtakingly real
it's almost as if
he could reach out and feel
the textures,the edges,
the scenic surmise
And yet it's only
a play on his eyes
For he stands now transfixed
on a remarkable pic
that he's so grateful
he didn't miss.

Hanging there
how could one not stop
and stare?

Kyle's Sculpture

Hollie's Sculpture

So, the way I came up with my sculpture was as follows:

I took the clay in my hands and began to form it and mix two colors together thinking that I would turn it into this ‘black’ clay that had been mentioned in our last meeting. The red and blue began to swirl together and it reminded me of many photographs I have taken of an image’s reflection on the water. With that in mind, I began to get a vision for this sculpture: It would be a simple (red) fishing boat with its reflection laid out over the blue water. Now, sometimes the reflection is a perfect match of its subject and other times it looks a bit like a jigsaw puzzle or some fancy piece of art in a gallery. In any case, I am not that technical and decided to go with the free flowing reflection. So, this is what you (should) see. And I chose it, again, because it is a subject I enjoy photographing.

A couple things came to mind in writing this out: One, just begin to step out and do something. Faith mixed with works. I caught a vision in doing so and then begin to work in that direction to see it fulfilled. Much like the creative process we are involved with through Inspire.
