MORE BLACK & WHITE

I can’t remember posting up any of this trailed glaze work before, so if I had, well, here it is again. The teabowl was thrown out of a small batch sandy whiter stoneware, glazed in a thin coat of a clear glaze and then I trailed over shiny, deep black decoration which under some lighting looks browner than it is intended to. The interior is also trail decorated tying the bowl together and then the foot is loosely tooled to give it an overall casual feel. Though it may not get noticed, this is just another incarnation of using more black and white surfaces that I seem to always come back to, in fact, I rely on this quite a bit more than almost any other surface, I wonder if at the end of the day if it is routine, habit or comfort that is the motivation?
