I make my pottery by applying the principles of renaissance drawing and painting found on the 2dimensional plane, to a flattened 3dimensional form.
I build as if drawing 'in the air' then decorate using the conventions of light, shadow and perspective to paint the vessel as if it is a picture.
Each piece has an ideal viewpoint and I work in monocular vision to shorten depth-perception. With the participation of the viewer's perceptual expectations of objects in space, I aim to create a brief belief in the illusion of roundness.
