Second firing of vessels made from recycled clay and plant fibers at Casamor Farm in Mar Vista, CA as part of the Casamor Farm Artist Residency 2018. While pit firing, I often enjoy using the excess energy released by the firewood to cook food for myself and others. https://casamorfarmartistresidency.org

The Most Surprising Little Urban Farm in L.A. Is on a Mar Vista Side Street

“Walk north past the Mar Vista Post Office along Grand View Boulevard and enter a tree-lined, residential street. Less than a block in, on the street’s west side, you’ll find a red ranch house surrounded by wooden furniture, an elliptical driveway, and a wooden stand with a blackboard menu that reads, “Take as many as you want, leave what you think they’re worth to you.” This is the unlikely setting for Casamor Farm, an urban farmhouse run by Andre Kohler that grows produce on-site on a Mar Vista side street.”

“His corrective mission extends to the wild, where Kohler frequently forages for mushrooms, acorns, nuts, berries, herbs, and flowers. His hunt covers the mountains, but also focuses right here in the city, where he snags fruit, avocados, and lemons. He’ll also “forage” frozen fish from grocery store dumpsters to feed his cats. He even prepares a “dumpster Thanksgiving dinner” prepared entirely from “trash,” a vision that brings to mind the dumpster diving documentary Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story.”

Recycled Plant Containers, 2018

Clay, organic matter

Produced for the Casamor Farm Artist Residency 2018 (May-July 2018)

Leftover clay and slip were collected from the CSULB School of Art and Irvine Fine Arts ceramics facilities.  After the clay was reconstituted, plant fibers from my personal garden and Casamor Farm were added to create the resulting cob-like material, which was then formed into cylindrical container shapes.  After their display at the conclusion of the residency, the vessels were dispersed to the various gardens with which I work and associate.

The ceramic works are meant to be used both for the transportation of plants in the exchange of worthy specimens between gardens, and to simply serve as containers for potted plants.  As both an artist and a gardener, I find myself in the proximity of many useful materials that many others may consider waste material.  I approached this project with the intentions of using such raw, plentiful materials in a constructive manner.  I was and still am interested and influenced by the material technologies developed by our ancestors--this project was meant to reconcile 

To make the most of the expended firewood, a big dinner (and food for the week) was cooked in the fire alongside the vessels during both pit firing sessions.  Through my trials, I discovered both pit fired and unfired cob forms make excellent plant containers.  My most efficient method of production involved using a 5-gallon bucket as a press-mold--the larger vessels seen above were produced by this process.  Both the fired and greenware vessels from the Casamor Farm Artist Residency timeframe are currently in use.

Part of "Upcycling Neighbors Caught Red-Handed!" - a community awareness event Thurs, March 1, 2018 6 pm - 10 pm Mar Vista ArtWalk strip (Beethoven - Inglewood on Venice Blvd) Teamed up with conscious farming community, Casamor Farm, and the community-based object repurposing project, Neighbors by Design, for a conscious consumption event we’re hosting at Thursday’s ArtWalk. Play me in Consumerism Poker, a participatory performance in which I’m putting up my material belongings, but refusing to gamble away my self worth and awareness of humanity. What will visitors be putting up? You’re encouraged to gamble your time—by donating an afternoon to farming at @casamorfarm or to helping locals in need through @NeighborsByDesign My grandmother’s hoarding is a byproduct of her Great Depression upbringing. I have no excuse. I also didn’t retain the rules of poker when she tried to teach me at age 8 amongst a pile of 1990s Prevention Magazine back issues. So I’ll be learning the day of the performance.
