Every vase ever created has it's own story. Some vases are strategically hand-built from coils or slabs of clay. Other vases are "thrown" on the potter's wheel with steady hands and a vision of transforming a hunk of clay into something stunning.
The vases here, were created on the potter's wheel. For the Under The Influence show at BAYarts, we were to chose a master painter or potter that inspires us and create a body of work. The artist I chose as my inspiration is master painter, Mark Rothko.
Rothko, had the ability to capture moods and emotions in his color field paintings with only a few colors. With these Rothko inspired vases, I use a few colors to capture the viewer for a few lingering moments. My goal is for the viewers to be as captured by the content in these vases as I was captured by the content in Mark Rothko's color field paintings (below).
