Respect

Some shapes and forms are  especially intriguing to me. Though not of the typical North American  vessel shape, it is inspired from ancient Chinese forms which I saw  visiting China.This piece allows me to expand my love of scroll forms  and spirals. With this contemporary design, I wish to honor and respect  the traditions on which these forms are founded. I believe that  traditional arts give a sense of continuity and stability, yet from time  to time they must also be freshened up by relating to the times the  artist lives in.
