This 1973 stoneware pot was created when I was teaching Ceramics at Woollarah Art School, Sydney. My teaching philosophy was to ‘lead from the front’ by working alongside students… that’s the Art experience I had when at high school from 1960 and later when studying in USA university Art Schools in the 1967-1970.
Using swirling curvaceous textural cut-through circles of differing sizes juxtaposed with smooth areas is a career-long repeated theme. That is also illustrated by this Skillitzi 2016 cast-glass lamp…. perhaps echoing moon craters.
Sculpture within the world of Utility is a liberating nexus. A lot of techniques for my preferred medium, Glass, have evolved from my Clay background.
