CACCA

CACCA
California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Art
(I know, the acronym makes no sense)

(Lilly Luna Bennett (in hat) talking with Jan (with sunglasses) about her piece "I Love the Unknown" clay, wood, paint)

CACCA!
YeeHaww!!!
Honestly I could draw a Thousand pictures of that night!
I Suck at taking pictures when I am part of an event, or when I am really tired. 
This was a bit of a combination of the two but...

(Me with silly hat)

I did get some fun shots of the Sac State Booth and our food and beer spread of which I was basically the Meistro.

(Rusty and Grace's Dude and our Keg of Guiness)

I have been to this even at least 5 times in my life and all and all this night might have been the best one yet!
Our Teacher Scott was Hootin and Hollerin!!! In fact I am going to draw a picture of him!
Actual Quote from Scott
"We've Got a KEG OF GUINNESS!!!
I'M NOT DRIVING ANYWHERE!!!
IVE HAD THIS ALL PLANNED OUT SEE!!!"
AHHH!!!
(Cool Piece with no label)

(Sausage and Chicken BBQ Instalation)

(My Constructed piece)

CACCA is not all about just partying but, it kind of is. At the end of the night when almost every one from sac state had left and I was talking to the Grad school recruiter from Sierra Nevada College about there $10,000 a semester 6 day intensive MFA program (Such a Deal!!!)
I got a call from Scott asking us to bring him a pitcher of beer to a restaurant near by. We found a piece from the Sac State show that held about 2 gallons of beer and I walked into the restaurant with this gargantuan thing, telling people that it contained our Dead Master and that I had to be delivered to our teacher to complete the lineage.
We found Scott in a room full of Ceramic professors (probably15 at least) all with there shoes off and sitting on the ground at these little wooden tables.
It was Awesome!!!
Seeing old friends
Meeting new ones
and helping Whyate (our clubs president) to do his first Keg Stand.

Tam Helenski

Tam Helenski I have known Tam for a little while now and one thing I can absolutely say is that she has some seriously deep understanding of not only her work but also the way of many artist, I think even more than many artist may know. Like Rubi Chishti she has investigated deeply into a world that can only be understood from within.  Its hard for me to quote Tam because the stuff is usually so deep. Most times I will record conversations or lectures like this. Unfortunately I left my recorder on and out side after our classes talk with visiting artist Eric Anang which was right before. What really stood out to me in this talk with Tam was her own struggle to explain her realizations in or with words. Very similar to Chishti there was a sort of disassociation or reassociation with the beyond. Her work is the offering. What is this life what is its significance, its loss its gain.  Tam's work that we viewed was layers upon layers of film, sound, water, tr

Eric Adjetey Anang

Eric Adjetey Anang One of my favorite parts about being an Art Student at Sacramento State is the opportunities I have had to work with and get to know visiting artist. Last year it was Shay Church this year it was Eric Adjetey Anang. (Artist Eric Adjetey Anang with student assistants Kojo Gaisie and Chris Duffy) Now this year I didn't get to work as closely on the project with Eric as I did with Shay but I will say this, I have never met a guy who smiles as much and seams as Jolly as Eric! Well Maby I have but even still, the dude is content, or somethin... just a really fun guy to be around and work with!  (Eric whering my dinosaur mask which is always a big hit with the next generation of Sculpture Students Chris's daughter Ameina Duffy)  (Jasmine with coffin) (Strange Dude (STRANGE ONE!!!))

The Crocker (Rick Siggins, JuJuiygi 2007, Acrylic on Canvas) I Love The Crocker. (Homeboys, Brian D Tripp 1997 Mixed media) I always like to see there contemporary permanent collection, Its interesting especially after seeing the SF MOMA. Our Museum is good!                     (Charlie Brown Untitled, Bearing the weight#1 Oil on Pasted Canvas) I Feel Like the Crocker is a little more humbler, a little more down to earth. and still basically jam packed with Exceptional works and sweet shows.  I should probably become a member. (Gustavo Ramos Rivera, Bulerias 2009 Oil on Canvas) (Kojo with Ceramic piece) Thank You Crocker.
