Rogers says about this work: I am thrilled to reacquaint myself with what I describe as one of my "travel pieces"; a series of pots I have continued to make since the 1980's inspired not only by the landscapes and architecture of each country I have traveled to, but also their pots. This is what I call a 'Globe pot' inspired by the spherical shapes of African pottery; and on it is an abstraction of an ancient Spanish cliffside town, with birds flying below (Arcos de la Frontera). I use a stoneware clay body with clay slips, porcelain additions, wax and glaze.

From the collection of Arlene and Bernie Solomon.
