ClayScape I developed this technique of sculpturing to allow me to imprint my experience of a "happening" in clay. In the process, I bring internal landscapes and architectures into the here and now. In contemporary English, the suffix "scape" has detached itself from "land" and reattach itself to the idea of place/space internal as well as external, real as well as metaphorical: landscape, mindscape, soundscape, timescape etc. "-Scape" has a hint of capturing a whole of an experience/idea in a single representation. It suggests an open viewpoint between perspective and the horizon and allows us to point to the fluid, irregular shapes within these representation. This "sculpturing event" in music, time, space, audience -- captures-defines-creates - my Calyscape. Bar Shacterman bar@barbotic.com www.barbotic.com
