Shadow Blackwell
"I enjoy the ‘hands on’ creative processes, as this way I feel complete and true to myself. Most of my work begins with a vision or a memory, from music, to dance, to ceramics, or from naturally sourced objects, I love to collect every element as it touches my soul. My cravings for perfection, something I cannot ever change, driving me forward, although it may be a tough journey."
