mrs. karen mcardle


you will be missed.

my metalcraft professor and her husband passed away this weekend in a car accident. i am in shock and full of mixed emotions. she was the epitome of metalcraft and ceramics. a beautiful jeweler and sculptor. many a talk had we of creative ideas, of ways to improve a process we were working with, of life. i will miss her greatly. passing her office, watching her drink green tea from a mug she had thrown on the wheel, talking to her husband in her office on speaker-phone, washing her dishes in the printmaking sink. thinking about you karen and the portion of my life you have affected.
