Here is brief statement concerning the grave markers shown in the slide show:

Formally, this work represents my initial fascination with not only the singular closed form made by traditional potters, but with its unique function. Serving only to Mark time and space both physically and conceptually, these pieces interrupt expectations of functionality, and further investigate the boundaries of pottery and sculpture. Arrived at by combinations of essentialized parts to form an individuated whole, I am referring to the archetypical qualities found in all pottery. The viewer is presented with a grid of similar yet different objects for visual negotiation, contrast and comparison. With these Markers I assert that all pots serve on some level as containers of information whether directly or indirectly, and by exploring undictated prerogative of use and the furthest abstract boundaries of function I hope to question their limits.
