Out Of My Hands

Starting From The Physical ...

This piece began with a photo I took of some expressive pottery I made during a class at my day centre. I had discovered that I worked best if I just let my hands, my emotions and the clay do the work and leave my brain out of it.

Using photoshop, I tried to continue this process and it felt as if it almost made itself. Hence the name. I feel like I tapped into something inside me and made it visible. It was nice to do that in a positive way without ending up in A&E.
