Danny Ko was feeling confined in his High Point home, during the covid lockdown. He has daydreamed about all the things he loved in life. He decided to embrace one of these loves, pottery. He took a pottery class, after a 15 year hiatus. In this pottery room, he found his inner child. Who loved playing in the dirt and sand on the Jersey shore. He loves creating something magical out of simple earth.
My potter’s wheel whirling in the studio.
I think of all the possibilities for this clay.
What will you be? Who do you want to be?
Tall, thin, stout, rough, smooth?
Will you wear a fine shiny glaze?
Or are you simple kind of pot and you like your exposed rough clay?
All you pots have a different personality,
A record of my time with you.
Now I am ready for you to see the world beyond this studio..
