Spear Wood Sculpture by: Susan Komer

For sculpting class we were required to do a 'body extension' made of wood; something we could actually wear.  Not my favorite project, but I made it through.  I did learn a lot about using the equipment in the wood shop, but definitely prefer sculpting with a more flexible or mold-medium.  I have a lot of respect for those who work with wood as I found it to be quite challenging. 

Ceramics work in progress: Ingrid Hendrix replica by Susan Komer

This piece is now almost finished.  I've gone through the bisque fire, added glaze & under-glaze for affect and details...my change up will be using a metal axle with wooden wheels as I'd mentioned before.  I'm quite pleased with how this piece is turning out....and have become a HUGE fan of Ingrid's work.

Be sure to check out my past blogs to view a variety of work I've done.  All pieces, if available can be purchased, please contact via email for information regarding the purchase of any piece or photography print...Thank You!

Fictional Narrative Photography By Susan Komer

The follow is a series of photographs done to narrate a story of sorts.  I was experimenting with my camera using slow shutter speeds and low light.  The point was to try and tell a story of sorts, while my interests were in creating the ghostly images.  The players here are my eldest son, who was a real sport as I squished chicken livers onto his head; and his friend Emily.  I am a horror movie buff and huge Stephen King fan, just to make a bit of sense out of the 'why' behind the subject matter.  Enjoy!

Photography work by: Susan Komer

While my classes often keep me busy outside of my passion for photography, I always find the time to fulfill my desire.  The following is a small sampling of my work: which I hope will show the broad spectrum of interests I have.   Please respect all copyright laws as these do belong to me...if you see something you'd like, please contact me about purchasing a print...thank you and enjoy!

My version of an Ingrid Hendrix ceramics sculpture

I know it has been awhile, but I've been half crazy with my transfer to main campus.  This is my latest sculpture...it is a replication with minor modifications for my ceramics class...the original artist is Ingrid Hendrix...as soon as I saw her work I made a connection....LOVE HER!

Below you'll find some process photo's...it isn't complete just yet...but I think it's ready to slip:)

The original piece is by Ingrid Hendrix...my assignment was to take a piece and replicate yet differ from the original...when I saw her work...WOW...I felt an immediate connection. I have since carved in the feathers...but tomorrow I will add the slip and then fire.  This is my FIRST ceramics piece...hope you all enjoy it:)
