This Sunday I’ll be showing some new work at the @kunsthallewien Artists’ Market ❄️

It’s a series of ideas I started in Tel Aviv, but that were unfinished when I moved.

So I took this opportunity to remake them here in Vienna, because they still feel important. They tell the story of how I transitioned from pottery back to sculpture, and to the wall-based work that I’m making now.

If you’re in Vienna in weekend, please come check them out! I’ll be selling affordable work with a lot of amazing artists that I’m excited to see :)🏺 taken in Kunsthalle Wien by @b_wad

SHELF DOUBT
(70x50x15cm)

A series of sponge sculptures 🧽 cast in a soft squishy foam (think Nerf 🏈)

It’s a recontinuation of the shelf sculptures that I stared making twenty years ago. For me they’re very personal, almost spiritual.

Maybe existential, in that I think they’re about what life’s like and what it feels like to be an artist in this world.

This is not Special Vessels. It’s something different. Stayed tuned. taken in Vienna, Austria by @b_wad

Last week, we welcomed @rcasculpture alumnus Ben Wadler (@special_vessels) back to the department for an artist talk and an afternoon of tutorials with our current students. Ben, who graduated in 2012, shared insights into his practice–from sculpture to pottery and back again–and his journey since leaving the RCA. by @b_wad

I had a great time chatting with @pdblais for his awesome podcast ‘The Potter’s Cast’

We talk about how I fell into the world of ceramics, and changed lanes from sculpture to pottery.

After an hour of discussing international and intergalactic travel, Paul asked if I ever felt that I was the real alien – a stranger in a strange land.

Yes, Paul…I do (Link in Bio) 🔗 taken in Vienna, Austria by @b_wad
