River POts

River Pots and designs are a series of decorative, sculptural, pottery.  They were inspired initially by the Japanese, coil-built, Jomon era pottery and grew to be influenced by much more.  When constructing them, I use design elements that are found in nature and the human body and then meld these parts together.  Each piece is a kind of organic exercise, building off itself to produce a unique result.  Because of the intuitive, gestural, process involved,  these designs naturally illustrate connections between forces  and demonstrate balance.  The result is a dynamic, yet peaceful visual performance.
