Earthomes I

This wheel thrown, sculpted and pit-fired vessel demonstrates the pottery traditions’ humble roots in emerging from the earth itself. It also alludes to the importance of the hearth in the home as the neck and spout of the vessel call to mind both a chimney as well as a crude wheel-thrown jug form. It speaks of human intimacy and the beginnings of mans’ reliance on clay to build the first ovens, stoves, and vessels for food storage and cooking as well as heating a home.
