Detailed Description

I love clay. In it I feel seeds of growth that I can nurture with my hands. Pots are like babies and pottery a bliss. Every pot is a projection of myself but it has a language that is beyond the grammar of written words. It is like a conversation that happens between clay and fingers, the former almost commanding the latter how to move in a certain rhythm and create the form. It is challenging yet simple, it is primordial yet playful, it is formless but creates the form and it is full of surprises. Goals for the current project: * To demonstrate the ability to create a set of identical pots to the extent to which the effortless ease of production pottery has been internalized. * To evolve my own aesthetics of form and glazing. * To develop a clarity with regards to repositioning of a craft. * To explore pot-making. * To follow the bliss.
