My work opens the opportunity for the private study of a new personal contemporary archeology where predefined facts are irrelevant and imagination is imperative. With a sense of awe and wonder, the reaction to the work asks questions of what, where, when, and who; these questions being the necessary steps toward the development of a story – a narrative unique to each viewer.

In a world increasingly concerned with questions of energy production and raw material shortages, this project explores the potential of desert manufacturing, where energy and material occur in abundance.   ~ Markus Kayser

My current body of work employs the disciplines of painting, drawing and ceramics to create sculptures and installations that generate an erratic sense of purpose. These flights of imagination are supported by the inspection of architecture, natural land formations and vehicles of travel, as well as cartoons, caricature, knick-knacks, and candy.

I want to reach a point where I can't distinguish between a portrait, an eye, a bird and the figure "8", a strong black line or the recorded touch of hand on clay.  All this stuff is the product of the same thing - an internal dialogue - one's desire and waking dreams going out to meet the clay.  I want to get to the core of this matter and so I want to find simple, direct methods of working.  Methods that allow compassion and humanity to be heard over the technical virtuosity of a clever hand and a trained eye.  I want to find ways of working that respond to the only ability I have ever had, wishing the work well and silently encouraging it to "be good, be good."  ~ Bede Clark

Seeing Ruhwald’s ceramic objects in an exhibition context constitutes a paradox. It’s as if they weren’t born for life in the white cube of the museum. True, you can place the works on the floor, you could spray-paint the walls, saw up the platforms or in some other way illustrate that you are well aware that the neutrality of the exhibition space is an illusion. But no matter what efforts you make, you literally end up banging your head against a wall. What you can’t get around is the displacements – the artificial environment. ~ Louise Mazanti

Thirdly, I began reading the the Front of the Wall Street Journal the other day and it talking about the Obama Care issues.  I need to read it again because it confused me so much.
