These are really wonderful. What a celebration of locale! Do you live near me? I like the kingfisher. We have three types that race up and down our Resaca..old oxbow of the Rio Grande. I recognized many things in the tiles. Great project. Marcia -
I knew a medieval lit or religion Prof from Boone. We were in an NEH seminar together. Can't remember his name. It has been 22 years.

Artist's statement: As a nation we shared the heavy loss of civilian lives on September 11. We suffered grief for months as search and rescue teams continued to filter through the debris looking for the remains of the people who perished. I believe Mayor Giuliani expressed the magnitude of our loss in that every life, every person is a story. Every day more stories appeared in the newspapers with photographs of people missing. As an artist I searched for a way to express this. I have reproduced the image of a book 21 times in clay adding pages gently turning as if blown by the wind to reveal the story's progress. These stories were abruptly ended. These books have been burned as if censored. They tell a story illegible but symbolically of what has survived out of the ashes. –Marcia Selsor May, 2002 -

Detail of one book form. This installation in various sizes has been shown at the Archie Bray Warehouse Gallery in Helena, Mt; Toucan Gallery in Billings, MT; Greenville, NC; Hood College in Frederick, MD. The thin pages were formed using slip dried onto plaster to a workable consistency. -

Lots of lizards in and out of the studio. When I was gone from my wheel, a lizard moved under the wheel head. -
Nice texture! Reminds me of coral.

As Patti Warashina says (and I am at her feet) clay is a most humbling media and we must be crazy to work with it.

I lived in Huntley and Billings, Montana for a total of 31 years. I miss it dearly. Your photos remind me how wonderful the big sky and open space can liberate one's mind. Great photos. Thanks.
