With this piece, I wanted to continue with the process of carving negative space out of my pottery, but instead of drawings and figures that I have drawn out, I wanted to do just a simple design circling the piece without being symmetrical. I was trying to figure out what kind of design would completely circle the piece, and I thought of Wind. I did three different levels of carving making it more 3 dimensional.
I also wanted to practice with just simple forms that could possibly be acceptable for future lids. I wanted to keep the round for without getting too concerned with the native american form that I have been practicing with. I just focused on getting it smooth and perfectly symmetrical.
I did continue to work on the native american form that I somewhat got away from just to keep the feel and pattern in my work. I stayed with the simple small, large, small scale. I have found out that this is the form that comes most naturally to me when throwing on the wheel.
