This was clearly an end of day
pot, not thought out and just thrown using some clay already wedged up. Obviously,
it was slightly thought out as it was thrown thick enough to flute vertically
and horizontally which interrupts the flow of the movement of the surface. There
is a simple lid surrounded by concentric bands to add so movement and interest
to that as well and completed with a slab impressed handle based on a Cubist
apple stem. The idea to this spur of the moment pot is pretty simple and since a
fluted surface looks good, I went with my Oribe and accents of iron which have
created cascades of color running down the furrows. By the way, what is the
plural of flute in this context, is it as simple as flutes?
