I
like black & white, the possibilities may seem finite, but they are in fact
infinite and only limited by one's imagination. The illustrated black &
white mug is what I refer to as "mugged", thrown round and cut,
darted and beat up a bit to form a slightly ovoid shape with a distinct lean
where the handle is attached helping make for a more comfortable grip and is finished
off with a pronounced thumb rest to aid in the general physics of drinking. The
surface was coated in a rich black with white applied over creating a distinct
seam along either side, balanced above the notched foot which creates a sense
of backward movement in the piece. This type of pot is fun to make and like so
many others, even move fun to use. Anyone for a late summer glass of banana
bread beer?
"Imagination
disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice and happiness, which are
everything in this world." Blaise
Pascal (1623-1662)
