David suggested that instead of literally copying the idea of combs as artefacts, I interpret it in my own way and create 'found' items with no clear use or history. I enjoyed letting the clay dictate it's own form, instead of trying to produce something refined that had a formulaic design-which brings it's own set of problems. I would have liked to have the possibility of more detail in what I make though and the clay is better for large forms. The next step that I would like to take with these objects is finding a way of firing them in a primitive way. Ideally in a way that is reflected in the result. I would like to create some sort of outdoor kiln and have scorch marks on the finished pieces.
