ANOTHER DAY A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT

So in terms of dealing with Instagram it has been an interesting couple of days, in other words, another day a different account. I was able to access my account one minute and then locked out the next. Over a 48 hours I tried everything possible and followed all of the "help" tips and instructions to no avail so starting a new page seems to be the next best option. As blasé as it may sound, though I like the community and seeing what other potters, craftsmen and artist are up to, I am not that motivated by the likes or followers though they are most welcome. When I started my Instagram page it was a lot like my pottery blog, I, POTTER, more about crystalizing my thoughts on objects and sharing what little I may in the way of my personal work and the pots, mainly Japanese that I come in contact with.  All that being said, as I am often reminded, I will start at the beginning and see what happens and where this goes. Though I may put up a few previously posted pictures from my original page just for familiarity sake, my intention is to just continue to move forward and post on a more or less daily basis. Any thoughts, remedies or criticism are welcome and received as they are intended.      

In an effort to bring this post back to the actual subject of pottery, here is a nice sunlit photo of the top half of a Shigaraki henko by Furutani Michio. Enhanced by the sun and perhaps a bit mysterious coming from out of the shadows what makes this slab henko just a bit different is that it is small, low and a bit long compared to the bulk of his pieces employing this building technique and formula. This piece has a low profile, sleek frame and just the right amount of ash and hiiro to animate the form and draw in one's attention. I should lastly point out the neck and mouth, made by the coil and throw method that is starkly different than those on the larger slab henko and this gives the piece a very distinct look among the other pieces of this style. In the end I find it so odd that changing just one detail can create such a disparate appearance from the pack.
