What would you have concluded from such an experience?
I've decided that in my studio there lingers, in a totally
mysterious way, a whole bunch of ceramic shapes completely
invisible waiting for me to arrive each morning. They
take me and use me and move me in a way that permits their
coming into a physical and material existence.

This could be frightening, but it also has exciting
possibilities. However, if true, there were certainly
some unfortunately ugly relatives of these recent shapes
hanging around the studies I first inhabited!
