Artist statement on the piece:

My work is all about process; the result is what is displayed. The act of throwing a piece of clay on the potters’ wheel can be quite revealing when allowing oneself to be free of preconceived ideas. These 4 pieces are from a series; many balls of clay were thrown on the wheel with the only preconceived idea being that the shape be bottle-like. As the throwing process evolved, shapes were revealed. The revolution of the wheel and evolution of the form, while throwing each ball of clay as well as during the trimming process (when the pieces were leather-hard), the remnants of the trimming and throwing processes are as essential to the overall forms created. Sometimes those remnants fell off the piece. Still being very much a part of the forms, they were saved, fired and are still part of the overall assemblage of pieces.
