The Amazing Ceramic and Clay Award Winning work of Michael Sherrill

It is as if I have been asleep, and when I wake up, I am surprised by the things that surround me.  In my case, it is the flora and fauna surrounding my studio that continue to surprise me.  For me, these discoveries are epiphanies. My desire is to create something that might bring its observer to the same place of discovery.  It’s one thing too for me to respond to a stimulant and then to make work.  It is another thing for that work to go the next step and bring a likewise response from the viewer.I started using my extruder to extrude tubes and then pull tapered, long spouts for my sculptural teapots.  My involvement in using an extruder has totally changed my thinking about it as a tool.  It widened my view of what I can do with clay.  Instead of the extruder being a static tool, just to make an object, I now see it as a workstation like a potter’s wheel.  It is a place to make and manipulate forms.  This is the thing I would like to communicate and share with others.  These techniques can open up new possibilities for anyone working in clay.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
