"The final piece captures the motion and
tension of the integrated clay parts. The elements of the system appear
suspended in space or compressed by the weight of another. Cool blue
celadon bands twist around soft white porcelain rings as brown stoneware
rods, once rigid, bend and weave their way throughout.
The integrated forms are complex mixtures, busy and balanced at times. Others seem piled and chaotic. These systems are metaphors for our times, our bodies, and our philosophies. Time ages all things. It softens hard edges and moves material to alternative states of rest. Not only does time test form, it tests ideas. Some become foundations for future breakthroughs as others fall into oblivion. My process is the concept. My ideas are subject to the same cascading failure as are my forms." -Ryan LaBar
