I am slowly making my way back to St. John's. I've been stopped off at my parents house in Clarenville for the past few days but will be heading into town tonight. I feel a bit like the astronauts must feel when they get back from space - overwhelmed but happy.
I had a great summer. There were absolutely no problems, and I am healthy and ready to get back to work. I will have lots of pictures and videos to post on here, and stories to tell eventually, but I don't have my computer back yet and there are many other important things I must do before I can get that done (like find a place to live, etc., etc.).
Anyways, stay tuned to the blog for lots of fun stuff!

About the project...
The Grey Islands was a three-month interdisciplinary ceramic art project. During the summer of 2009 I lived alone on the Grey Islands while I made and documented a site-specific ceramic art piece.
The installation itself is quite simple. I built a wood-fired kiln according to a traditional design, only I inverted the design so that in principle the kiln is inside-out. Therefore, in a conceptual sense, the entire island is "inside" the kiln - when I fired the kiln I fired the island.
The ultimate purpose of The Grey Islands is to say that even within the material-oriented craft genres traditional hierarchies of medium and concept need to be reevaluated.
