Untitled confection

Sometimes I see scraps and leftovers in the studio that catch me just when my mind is ready to create. A technique I call "wet on dry” makes this very do-able. In art, a "confection" can refer to a piece of art that is elaborately and artfully put together, like a sweet confection, or to the process of creating a work of art from multiple elements. In a wet-on-dry sculpture, I concoct a gloop as a mortar which can join clays of disparate dryness. This is creatively freeing. The consistency is like cake/candy frosting which can itself be applied and textured. This all tends toward a sculptural confection.
