Creating this piece tested my values as an artist. I’m always interested in experimenting within mediums. I found some new techniques, combining them to create the bowl design. All was going smoothly but towards the end it broke. I only blow glass in the summer and I knew remaking it would be difficult and take up one of my few opportunities I had left to make a new piece. However I ultimately decided that I must persist and I’m so glad I did. Being an artist you face many losses but it’s important that you don’t let your mistakes claim you. When making this and future pieces I have worked to embrace mistakes, letting them shape each piece. Without them what would art be?

Creativity is the process of taking one’s own experiences, perspectives, and identity to create something unique. In performance art, this could mean applying creativity to a prewritten piece, making it a new, unique work.
