This is my journal documenting an ongoing creative endeavor sustained by a single underlying current with 100 momentary breaks, each indicated by an individual porcelain cup which reveals both continuity and uniqueness in the way the pot is thrown, the handle is pulled and wrapped,
and the form is carved and sculpted. Each piece is photographed in its raw
porcelain clay state before being fired or glazed. If you would like to follow the progression from Cup #1, scroll down and click "Older Posts" or begin at the Blog Archive "2010", "March".

The 100 Cups collection is available for exhibition.

The wrapping vine sends out supporting shoots that energetically embrace this small delicate cup...

A strong handle vine rises up, splits, then turns down and wraps....

Cup #41

Small dimpled pods emerge from each vine....

Cup #41 (side view)

Two vines merge and split apart.....two small dimpled protrusions begin to form at the base.

Cup #40

A simple vine handle spirals around the small pulsating cup form...the base splits into folds.
