Reverence This vessel for containing liquid is a hand built piece fashioned of
white stoneware clay. It is actually formed beginning with two
pinch pots welded together. The "arms" were rolled out as coils
and the center of each coil was opened so that liquid could eventually
pass through. The pot was glazed before firing with a dark cobalt
glaze.
The finished vessel is definitely organic in nature and in
addition to being functional, unquestionably has a sculptural quality
which in it's simplicity exhibits a kind of oriental/spiritual
serenity. It is
no accident that this piece relates in concept to earth, water, and
those who inhabit it. My eldest daughter Marcie, told me
that it reminded her of the manner in which people in some cultures bow
to one another in a gesture of respect, so I have called it,
"Reverence".
