A series of hand movements, a balancing act between pressure and release; these are the techniques that morph together to create this dramatic, yet simple vessel. The thick cylindrical base balances the weight of the bulbous top and wideness of the opening. Curved handles provide a delicate touch to the overall look of the vessel, while slightly thicker rings serve as a merger between the varying densities. Each piece flows perfectly into the next, creating a sense of movement that one can visualize the artist utilizing to create the vessel itself. The Black Pedestal Vase is a piece that is destined to stand out in any setting.
