Transformed

Consider the thought that blind artists will never actually see their completed work.  They are completely immersed in the process of art, as pure self expression.  They can only hear about the beauty of their work from others, or run their fingers over the bumps and hollows and imagine.  The texture rollers completed earlier in the month, rolled and glazed, resulted in these gorgeous trays.  When I ask what color glaze they want to paint on their bisque work, I believe there must be some kind of mental imagery in making this decision.  Certain colors evoke a memory, or the sound of the name of the color, such as Periwinkle or Forest Green may move them.
