Artist Statement: This piece of artwork is a very small coil vessel. The vessel is built up of 5-7 coil vessels while smoothed out on the in and outside. This vessel is very short, probably around 5 inches. There was no artist of inspiration for this piece, I was sort of just experimenting. I think texture is for sure used in this piece. Shape is also another component of design that was used during this project. When I was making this vessel, I didn't really have a set plan about what the function would be. In the end, I determined that this would serve as a place to throw your keys in when you first walk in the house. I wasn't thinking about ,much when making this one, I just focused on making something that you can put stuff in. I was not a huge fan of this piece. Though it is not bad for zero instructions, it lacks a lot. There's not much creativity. It's just a plain vessel with plain walls and it's very short. The coils were successful, but the smoothing of the top was not. I also did not know to wedge the clay, so that may be a problem. Overall, I did not like the outcome of this project.
