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 has been acquired by the Haan Museum of Indiana Art in Lafayette, Indiana.

A flat fluid handle (not so vine like) streams along the cup, turns and flows down and away...

More curling and embracing of the cup by the handle vine....

Cup #43

Cup form elongates...the handle vine grows, curls, and splits apart to embrace the cup.

Cup #42

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

Cup #42 (side view)

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.
