The red and black move across the surface of this striking pot in an endless flirtation of straight edges and curves. Like mirror images, opposites and yet equals, the lines echo each other's every move but never quite touch. The piece has wonderful restraint, but there is a tense passion just beneath the surface that threatens to break free at any moment.
