Two Clay
Hands
I take unpopular clay
with distinct color and texture
but somehow passed over
overlooked
underrated
And form useful art
dysfunctional functional art
art that surprises me and makes me giggle
funky, quirky, to the left of center
intentionally and wonderfully flawed
Stooped, spiked, or dented
with bold glazes that radiate inner beauty
I observe my world created
with imperfections, quirks and textures
asymmetrical and wonderfully flawed
yet purposeful
and beautiful
I laugh when I make it
and want you to laugh
God has played with me
and I am playing God
From clay I have come
to clay I will return
Two clay hands
informed form
created and creating
