Space of solitude

The quiet garden at my parent´s, in the hosue where I grew up...

"Solitude in architecture is a magical and intangible quality, difficult to define, but we know it when we find it. These are spaces where, rather than being harried and stimulated to grasp and consume, we instead slow down, surrendering to contemplation or a meditative emptiness".

This are words written by Ella Mudie in her article in australian magazine Meanjin: http://meanjin.com.au/articles/post/little-refuge-design-and-solitude/ (which I discovered in the blog Project D'amour by Hila Shachar: http://hila-lumiere.blogspot.com.ar/2012/05/meanjin.html).

¡Gracias Mari! El esmalte cristal hace ese efecto acuoso, no es tan llamativo como otros pero tiene su belleza discreta

Yo creo que poquisímas veces he visto y sentido las burbujas explosivas que me produce ser amiga de esta criatura, digo ver burbujas porque todo lo que muestra, lo que viste, lo que come, son burbujas de colores, divertidas, sencillas, fantásticas.

Y digo sentirlas porque las entrañas se me trenzan cuando esas burbujas explotan en sus formas de porcelana, en sus amores, en su hija, en sus viajes.

Jardín de porcelana es escalofriantemente bello.

Regardless

These days things are a bit complicated in my life so I haven't been able to go to the workshop everyday.
My parentes are helping me a lot, my father with the kiln and my mother taking pictures of the pieces.
Thanks to them I could finally finish an order for a hotel:

Corteza bowls and Repollito, Circulo and Punto vases in beige, new glaze.
Website DomusXL published an article about my "Porcelain garden": http://domusxl.com/?p=4882

We celebrated Fausta's first birhtday last March, I can't believe I have a one year old daughter!!!
It was a nice family meeting, she really enjoyed it.

White

I have some flowers. They've just come out from the bisque firing. I'll glaze them and then back to kill for final fire.
