Left to Right- The Good Life, Miessen, Johann Kaendler, 1762 and Specimens for Ash Fest
This semester I had the opportunity to visit the Prairie Museum of Art and History in Colby Kansas where I saw the ceramic porcelain Miessen piece entitled “The Good Life” by Johann Kaendler.  This piece of Miessen inspired some of the chosen artifacts in each sedimentary specimen that I made for a wood firing conference called AshFest that I’m attending this summer.  “The Good Life” made me think about choosing unique everyday objects/artifacts associated with social festivities as instead of solitary activities.
