Description |
The red and black move across the surface of
this striking pot in an endless flirtation of
straight edges and curves. Like mirror images,
opposites and yet equals, the lines echo each
other's every move but never quite touch. The
piece has wonderful restraint, but there is a tense
passion just beneath the surface that threatens
to break free at any moment.
