Three Views, 1974
porcelain
9.5 x 6 x 6 in
Signature: signed and dated on lower right

My work is concerned with the vessel, following the ideals of integrity and clarity of form, created space and surface treatment. Pieces develop, one following the other, in an empirical manner.

Each builds on ideas in previous pots as variations on a theme. Porcelain allows me the surface to extend and unify that expression through applications of color, using oxide stains and textured ash glazes applied sometimes vigorously, other times softly, with stencil and brush.

Three Views is a whimsical, figurative form.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
