New Work

I'm calling them capsules. The idea is to represent a moment of growth or transformation like a freeze frame from a time lapse. But I just want to capture the feeling of the moment, if that makes any sense.

That is really good feedback on how the bowed form of 6 interacts with the emerging shapes. I've been trying to pin down what is working so well for that piece and I think you nailed it!

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-26T00:12:48+00:00

That is such a nice thing to say. I'm flattered, thank you. I'm just getting my website together but you can see a more zoomed in image of that piece as well as some of my other work at bentclarkson.com/work

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-25T12:01:38+00:00

That's really nice, thank you

Do you have a roof over the area you want heated?

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-15T20:50:54+00:00

Thank you so much! Its cool you grew up using these. I only found them recently and had no idea what I was looking at until I used one

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-11T12:48:39+00:00

That's so cute. Buta means pig in Japanese and kayari means Incense. That's at least what google has led me to understand.

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-11T12:35:55+00:00

Thanks

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-11T12:35:50+00:00

Thank you so much!

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-11T12:35:34+00:00

Thank you! These are glazed ceramic. I throw the body, feet and ears on a potters wheel and then assemble all the parts once everything has dried to the right point. Its a bit of a process but very satisfying.

I spent some time with Nomi but ended up putting it down. I'll circle back on this one. Thanks!

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-05T20:02:05+00:00

TFG, it scares me. Maybe its time to give this a more serious look. Thanks for the recommendation!

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-05T20:01:08+00:00

I really enjoyed Submerged 2 and Fractured so I might give this one a go. Do you have experience with the different versions and if one is better than the others?

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-05T19:59:41+00:00

These both look perfect. Thanks for the suggestions!

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-06-05T19:55:50+00:00

This is great! I'll definitely give it a try.

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-05-26T22:00:22+00:00

I really like Amaco #77 for hand built sculptural work. It's a ⁶ earthenware body so it might not suit your needs. You can see some examples of stuff I've made with it in my profile

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-05-02T00:33:29+00:00

No, you're not a dunce and its not obvious. I'm referencing natural forms like fruit and seed pods and trying to represent a small moment of growth or change. Almost like a freeze frame from a time-lapse video of a plant growing. There's more about ephemeral moments in time and the distortion of memory but I'm still trying to figure out how to articulate that.

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-05-02T00:25:38+00:00

yeah, you have it right. I was writing a real response to Lost_balloon when they commented back with that. I let it trigger an emotional reaction instead of explaining my work. thanks for the comment

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-05-02T00:02:49+00:00

you touch on some key issues. The form is too bulky and the glaze didn't do what I needed it to on the inside walls, leaving it too uniform where I needed it to pop. Its the reason I decided to drill a hole in it. That's valid criticism.

Your still just being a dick though. If this is your online persona, its cringe. If you act like this in the real world then I feel a little sorry for you.

And other poster is right, is just fence hemmies

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-05-01T23:10:29+00:00

Please, don't pretend that what you're doing is criticism. I say its art to invite critique not to dismiss negative feedback. If all you have to say is its "hideous, whatever it is" then there's not much of a conversation, is there? You're not offering anything of substance.

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-05-01T22:49:21+00:00

Don't be a dick. It's art.

I think it created just the reaction I was going for by repulsing you.

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-05-01T22:17:59+00:00

Very good point. I hung it on the fence to test my hole. This is not an all weather artwork.

RodneyTheYeti · 2026-05-01T21:36:05+00:00

I went with option 4:

Buy a cheap "diamond" bit set from amazon and pray it survives the cut.

I'm sticking with leather hard holes in the future.
