Oasis

Cinetula | Ceramics

This pottery is inspired by the ceramics of antiquity. One example is art from the civilizations of the Fertile Crescent. Artifacts which have survived to this day evoke a desert world — a world which remains largely unknown.

In contemporary life we savor rest and repose — an oasis — where refreshment and peace prevail. These pots are from that place and, it is hoped, radiate a sense of history and the lure of undiscovered provenance. They’re called Oasis out of an appreciation for integrated living and a guess that we may recover a certain missing quality by finding a model from our own past.

My love of the desert informs the color choices. The pitted surfaces and aggressive textures are intentional. May they bring the desert, its colors, quietude — and mystery — to the table.
