Perfect Chaos
Many artists are inspired by the chaos in their daily routines. But perhaps few experience the same type of daily bedlam as Columbus ceramicist Janis Mars Wunderlich. Wunderlich admits she’s lucky to get more than 20 minutes at a time in her home studio. She’s typically too busy accounting for her five children, their constantly-coming-and-going […]

A Reborn Universe
Earth—Man was completed in August, 2007. It was scorching hot. At 8 a.m., I went a barber shop in the art district, and had all my hair and facial hair shaved off. At around 9 o’clock, a friend of mine started to paint on my head and my face. This friend is a graphic designer […]
