Okay. So Obama's an honest guy. I can't pin any drug allegations on him that he hasn't already admitted to. So the brother wasn't above snatching a doob every now and then. I'm talking POT of a different kind. Ceramic superstar Ayumi Horie rounded up 27 of her fellow ceramic artists to create an Obama fundraiser called "Obamaware".
I'm proud to be a part of Obamaware. The piece I sent was originally created in Fall, 2000 when the forces of Sauron first started to nip at our heels. Originally, the piece was entitled "Darkness/Light/Darkness", but I've reworked it in this time of economic crisis to reflect my new spirit of cautious optimism. I've reversed the two plates, so the title is now "Light/Darkness/Light". You can purchase this piece, as well as plenty of others at the Obamaware website. A preview of most work goes up today, along with an essay by Sarah Archer reminding us that political ceramics are nothing new.
I already own work from many of the artists featured in Obamaware, including Mike Corney, whose work is pictured above. Take this opportunity to support the Obama campaign and be a patron of the ceramic arts in one fell swoop. Go TEAM!
