This is the last of my latest series of Imaginary Vases. This vase is the largest (23”) and most complicated in surface treatment. It is now time to start an entirely new series of vases. This last one was very diverse in shapes and surface treatments. They range from being symmetrical to very free form in design decisions. They also have very complicated to very simple surfaces. It is difficult to start over making these when there are so many different paths I could choose to follow.
This piece is perhaps the most dramatic in being significantly different when seen from the front or back. Even though i made it, I am surprised by the openness of one side versus the tighter presentation seen in the other.
