This weeks audition is of my zen cups, they are whiteware domestic porcelain made with slab construction. I can work on these in a small space at home. Each cup and shape are smoothed and burnished by hand over a period of days.
They are soothing to contemplate, noticing the push pull between uniformity and balance of form and the imperfections of delicate cracks and folds.
The porcelain shapes have an incomplete and vague vegetable shape. I hope to get sometime this year to try some larger slab bowls with glaze.
