"For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication." Friedrich Nietzsche

Thinking big, working little.
There's something to be said for not creating artwork that's bigger than the vehicle you drive. These are two samples from a work of two dozen or so clay tiles, made from printing linocuts into clay. The hardest part was keeping the clay flat while it was drying. The tiles were finished with acrylics. The imagery comes from a number of individual headframes that make up my memories of growing up in northeastern Quebec and northern Ontario.
