I however find structure in the idea of revisiting mugs each week. Mugs have been a touchstone in my work, an important small object of use that holds not only a hot beverage but also expression. Mondays I photograph a cup or perhaps a week&#8217;s drawings of the cups I have used.  Drawing especially during the pandemic feels like tilling the earth. The sketches and photographs  are part of being an art  farmer. At its best the hash tag provides a structure,  a reminder to share and dig into my archives. By looking more deeply I don&#8217;t always reach for the handy cup but perhaps the stubborn, heavy one or the precarious one that forces me to pay closer attention to my hot drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/07-decembrance-2020-1024x802.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/07-decembrance-2020-1024x802.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/07-decembrance-2020-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/07-decembrance-2020-768x602.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/07-decembrance-2020-1536x1204.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/07-decembrance-2020-1200x940.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/07-decembrance-2020-1980x1551.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/07-decembrance-2020.jpg 2042w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Lonely Cup of Coffee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Far preferable to a sociable cup<br> which tastes more <br>of talk<br>the lonely cup <br>redolent <br>rich <br>ripe <br>round <br>blesses <br>the quiet mouth <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;Naomi Shihab Nye, in <em>Voices in the Air: Poems for Listeners<\/em>, Greenwillow Books, 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this world of social media, especially the pottery community on Instagram, the hashtag MugShotMonday is often portrayed by a hand holding a mug with an out-of-focus background.
