that's where most <strong>of</strong> my efforts go. I do take on commissions occasionally, and sell pieces when people<br />
contact me directly through my website. I was very excited recently to have a favourite trio purchased by<br />
the City <strong>of</strong> Whitehorse for their art collection. <strong>The</strong>y are great supporters <strong>of</strong> contemporary ceramicists.<br />
VG : What is your favourite part <strong>of</strong> the ceramic process?<br />
GH: It's all my favourite: making ... experimenting ... hobnobbing with other clay obsessives .. . opening<br />
the kiln .. ' exh ibiting and finding that others enjoy what I make.<br />
VG: What is the dreaded job that never gets done?<br />
GH: <strong>No</strong>thing is dreaded ... I just don't have enough time to do everything I'd like to accomplish. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
are certainly tasks that get pushed to the backburner, but I have to operate within pretty defined limits.<br />
I think that this can actually be a positive thing in terms <strong>of</strong> creativity.<br />
VG: What are you fussy about?<br />
GH: Fussy isn't a term I'd associate with me. I tend to err on the side <strong>of</strong> sloppiness, if anything.<br />
It's a significant part <strong>of</strong> my aesthetic!<br />
VG : Which single piece <strong>of</strong> ceramics would you most like to own?<br />
GH: A turtle by Bernard Dejonghe.<br />
VG : How can people contact you?<br />
GH: Through my website, www.georgiaharvey.net.<br />
VG: What exhibitions do you have coming up?<br />
GH: I have a solo exhibition Magic Moun tain<br />
at Constance ARI, Hobart, Tasman ia,<br />
