Ceramic artist Johnson Tsang’s works have been able to capture my moods of late, although it must be said that this isn’t a mood so much as it represents what is going on with me right now. After more than a year of gestation, my brain is exploding like a supernova. Interestingly, I won’t say its exploding with new ideas, because its not quite a creative sparking so much as it is a synthesis, streaming out almost fully formed like Athena from Zeus’ forehead. The “research” phase is over and the writing phase has begun. It would have been helpful to have this happen last year but these things do not work this way. This is the longest it has ever taken me but then again, this was my doctoral dissertation work and not a commercial project. Its awkward timing and I’d really rather be doing something else but I have no choice but to accomodate this right now. Any artist will recognize this urge and need.
“Thing” is ready to be born, give it form.
