Artist's Statement: I draw lines by dissecting and immediately reassembling each pot. The result is a surface decoration with structural implications. Each line is in fact a seam. A scar where it was once severed.

This vase was designed to resemble the head of a flower just opening. The top portion it's stem, the yellow bottom portion it's petals. The drips of green glaze form a comfortable transition from one part to another.
