The 2nd studio journal dispatch from artist-animator Lewis Heriz. A series of thoughts linked to animation and the 'art life' (to borrow Lynch's term) sparked by learning a foundational pottery technique.

References in the episode:

zoetropes, John Edmark's 3D-printed phyllotactic spirals, Marie Paccou's umbrellotropes, multiple animated picturedisc vinyl records throughout the last century, and a nice example of pots with stencilled glazes.
