Thank you so much to and for letting me talk about “All At Once,” a group show opening on Friday, May 8th from 6-8pm. This new work by Anna and Mark VonRosenstiel and explores the hopeful and tragic experience of now.

Anna VonRosenstiel
My work for “All At Once” is inspired by the overlapping beauty of the smallest details within an ever-changing landscape. Cast away objects on the shore, washed and sand blown, harsh and soft, exist together, for a moment. The impermanence of this relationship creates a constant newness. Change, again and again, in small details and in the big picture, all at once, together.

This collection of work is an exploration of the relationship between our bodies and our environments. The world asks us to be all of the things all at once, and the pressure of that expectation often shapes us as people. Taking up space is an act resistance against that overwhelming pressure. We move through grief and heartbreak, always looking for a way back to ourselves and our softness, but coming home to our bodies requires a willingness to hold and be held in new, often uncomfortable ways.

In a moment when balance seems hard to find, I’ve found it helpful to think about the seeds that create our sense of self. It’s often hard to know if these seeds are still viable and capable of growing to create a part of ourselves again. This piece reflects on the give and take of that process.

This work will be up at through May. And also a huge thank you to Natalie for catching this clip on TV. We taught together almost 20 years ago, when my ceramics journey began. ♥️

I met Rue at the first I ever did in 2015. And here we’re are, 11 years later. During that first show, I bought soaps to stock at the Carter + Rose storefront. We carried until we closed the brick and mortar this year. My friendship with Rue is built on years of shared experience and understanding: wholesale, store front, trade shows, creating a vision, the wild ups and downs of owning a small business, making, making, creating, creating. Over this past decade, Rue has been a touchstone for me. When I feel stuck, or have a business dilemma, if I feel overwhelmed, or need to make a big change- Rue is a sounding board and a place to pour my heart out. Often, when I say things out load to Rue, I find the answer in my own voice.

I love to think that when we all support handmade small businesses, we are also supporting friends supporting each other. xo Anna

These photos represent 400 kilos of clay, 2 1/2 weeks of work, 1 giant rolling pin, and my 2 hands. Conversations with my sister, vol 2 was a joy to create.

Having time to be completely focused on my creativity in Budapest changed my brain. Focusing on creative output brought me immense joy and I recognized that this feeling is necessary for me to feel more like me. I came home with a new sense of calm and a recognition that life needs to slow down a bit. I am going to try so so hard to remember this feeling, follow through, and adjust my daily routine in Portland to better balance my creative happiness. xo Anna
