Artie is not going to warm up to you and he’d appreciate it if you stopped waiting for that to happen. Irritable is the factory setting. Prickly is the upgrade nobody asked for. Stubborn is something he has perfected over a lifetime of dedicated practice and he will not be taking notes. Colleagues navigate around him with the careful energy of people who have learned things the hard way. And then the music starts. Something shifts, something loosens, and suddenly Artie is on that dance floor doing things with his feet that frankly seem impossible given everything else about him. Smooth, committed, completely alive in it. Nobody mentions it after. Artie doesn’t either. But he’s always the last one off the floor.

One of a kind scary monster sculpture made with cone 6 white stoneware clay. Scary monsters are made from slabs of clay that are pushed and manipulated into their monster shapes. They are all fired in a kiln for 3 firings (thats 3 trips into the abyss of 2000+ degrees) depending on the final finish.
