Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Michael Boroniec

Michael Boroniec (b. 1983) is an American sculptor who resides and works in Berkshire County, Massachusetts.Boroniec received a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2006 with a concentration in ceramic material.

What began with teapots and a single spiral has evolved into a series of vases that vary in form, degree of expansion, and number of coils.

Each vessel is wheel thrown then deconstructed.This process reveals aspects of the vase that most rarely encounter. Within the walls, maker’s marks become evident and contribute to the texture.The resultant ribbon effect, reminiscent of a wheel trimming, lends fragility, elegance, and motion to a medium generally perceived as hard and heavy.“Art is not just an object or a concept,” Boroniec explains.“It is a conversation between a being, an idea, a spectator and a creator, as if it were a universal language that we all speak.”More of Michael Boroniec’s unique pottery can be found at https://mboroniec.com/.

Okay okay!

I need to take a breath!

I’ve been catching up on my Reader reading these past few days, and have I found some interesting, spectacular, enjoyable art of all kinds from my artistic friends! I mean, WOW!

I can’t decide if I want to highlight all of them in one blog, do one blog a day for five days, one blog a week, give them full spread value, mix them up between my wit and wanton words …

I cannot believe I am so fascinated with the world of ART. I mean — it’s only a way to pass the time, isn’t it? It’s only using a pair of scissors to cut out a design.  A bit of glue and fabric on a piece of paper. A few brush strokes on a piece of canvas. 

Of course, if you believe that, our relationship is tainted.

Seriously, though. 

When one practices what they love over and over again, miracles happen. Little miracles, big miracles. Half miracles. Because it’s the soul, the ether, the cosmic power of life and beyond coming through.

Whew! Big words! Big emotions! Big exclamation points!

I think I’ll showcase them — and others — a couple of times a week.  There are sooooooo many people whose work I enjoy, and I’m always making new friends out there, too, whose work is ever inspiring. Just last week I highlighted Carsten Wieland and his creative painting videos — just sitting and watching him create is amazing.

I should make up a week about celebrating artists. But I’d be celebrating 52 weeks a year. And I already do that!

Keep on being inspired! Keep on Creating!
