This pot is thrown on my wheel and altered. Then the hare is hollow formed, kind of like a pinch pot. Once I have the rough features, I sculpt out the rest and add the ample ears
So far, here are some of the stories: Crows moving eggs around the lower parts of the cups are creatures working in concert
The screaming bird imagines the egg in the mouth of “the other” is the only egg remaining so she protests mightily trying to persuade bird #1 to let her have it
This is probably the best example I have to date of the way my sculpture and pottery practices sometimes merge
I started working with the idea of a low, wide serving bowl about a year ago.
Here, I get to play with the appendage of the knob making nests w/eggs sometimes or as the subject matter on the pot indicates, maybe a flower blossom…a small mix of sculpture and pottery making
These are all about abundance and scarcity…about what we ‘think we know’ and how, when we get uber focused like that, we miss obvious things going on around us
Whether you use these for serving mashed potatoes or salad, or just mixing a big ol’ batch of Nestles Toll House choc chip cookies, these bowls are work horses.
Ahhh, the experience of drinking from a hand made cup…
