CREATING STORY SHAPING
PINE COVE POTTERY WAS CREATED……
Out of the pilgrimage of the stories of my life. The journey’s I’ve been on and how I was shaped through the process of being broken.
It’s about the people that came along side of me to nourish the parts of me that were deeply fractured. These people weaved in and out of my life as they lifted me up when I was struggling. They wouldn’t seek me out but rather they were put into place at times when I needed them the most and somehow through these stories, they nourished each part of my life.
These pottery pieces express the process and the beauty of how each story was written and how a faith in Christ helped me to get back up again.
Pottery is about being broken, shaped and transformed into something beautiful.
““If you ask yourself, “Who are the people who have most profoundly influenced my life?” you will probably find that every one of them has suffered in some way.” ”
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through the experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired...”
““We are driven to create at this deep wordless level of the soul
because we are all fashioned in the image of a God who is an Artist. When we first encounter God in the Bible, it is not as the awesome Lawgiver or the Judge of the universe but as the Artist.””
