I
am a big fan of the spiral and use it quite frequently on my pottery. It is one
of the oldest known symbols used by man as decoration and to express both
expansion and collapse. I have found over time that it helps animate a wide
array of forms and I am particularly fond of using it as an all over pattern
representing an infinite number of galaxies or possibilities. The illustrated large
slip trail plate is covered in spirals of varying sizes and the form is
animated by the devices which also drift off the edge of the pot extending the
pattern ad infinitum.

path isn't a straight line; it's a spiral. You continually come back to things
you thought you understood and see deeper truths." Ritu Ghatourey
