I liked several aspects of Lisa’s work. The glaze was probably my top favorite. The raku was beautiful. It was the perfect combination of intentional and unintentional. Obviously the color combination was one thing that could not be controlled, but the way the glaze fell on the piece also seemed unintentional. Despite all of the surprises that came from the kiln, it still looked coherent and deliberate. The other think that I liked about Lisa’s work was its versatility. Since the pieces we unattached, every assemblage is unique and can respond to the artist’s feelings that day. The work was also a beautiful combination linear and fluid pieces that came together very nicely.
The flowers that Lisa made were also pretty. The glaze colors that she chose worked together nicely and the uniformity was eye-catching. The presentation, on the other hand, did not work so well. The presentation on the floor was boring and did not do the work justice. It might work better if they were hung on the wall if possible.
