- Physical Description
- A vessel of bleached wood. From a narrow base, the vessel widens gradually. Near the top it begans to narrow gradually then narrows quickly on a nearly horizontal plane to a very small mouth. The surface, apart from the smooth lip of the mouth, is finely textured with vertical scoring.
- light-colored wood vase with textured hatching across surfaces
- Subject Matter
- Visual and tactile interplay of form and surface, and the contrast of different textured surfaces. The artist is interested in creating singular, finished art objects that do not necessarily convey the materiality of the medium.
