Misty Theodore, Bloomington, Idiana

On a sunny December day in Bloomington, IN, I hopped in my Jeep and set forth on a mission to find a perfect spot for my newly created inverted box.  I live near a limestone quarry and each day as I drive by it, I can’t help but look at the landscape of the stone stacked, cracked, broken, and piled in every direction. I decided to place my box amongst the limestone as this was where I felt it would best fit the landscape and be seen by passersby. I placed the box gingerly on top of a slab of limestone and stood back to take in the view. It was a perfect blend of clay and stone together in a single place.

Emma Wells, Morgantown Indiana

My name is Emma Wells and I am a student at Indiana University and my S260 ceramics class made 12" by 12" by 12" boxes with the intent to submit them to this project. My box is has light blue slip applied to the whole surface with a simple dark blue wave along the middle. I did this mainly because I'm a swimmer here at IU and I truly enjoy the water. When deciding where to place my box I chose my front yard. I live in a small town called Morgantown in Indiana, fairly close to Bloomington. We live on quite a few acres and I walked down to a place where a creek is. When we first moved into our house 8 years ago the creek was large and free flowing and I remember going down to it and playing in the water. Now the creek is much smaller and very over grown with all the dying foliage. I chose this spot because when you take a step back and look at it all, especially at this time of year when everything is withering away, it looks like it needs more than anything...water.
