Artist Statement

My forms draw together my attraction for the volume inside the work, a painterly surface, and edge design and flow. These pots are covered with stoneware and porcelain slips, clay additions and impressed lines. They are fired, delineated with wax and stains, spray glazed and re-fired. Ceramic art, as it is made, is a form of living communication. The presence of a pot flows through its volume: this flow is contained by the foot, the walls and the rim. A vessel's rim is its frame; it contains its volume and all that surges within it. The silhouette and surface graphics are extensions of this volume, and carry with them painterly images.

About Moore Brothers

Moore Brothers Wine Company is a unique place if you have never visited one of the locations. In 1996, Greg Moore, Sommelier and General Manager of the renowned Le Bec-Fin, and his brother David, a prominent wine retailer, created a wine store that reimagined the retail wine experience. They represent the work of winegrowers committed to sustainable farming, small production, and the traditions of their respective regions. Many of the producers they represent are considered among the finest in the world. Through their personal relationships with these small wineries, the wines come directly from the grower's cellars under perfect temperature controlled systems of 56 degrees, so dress warmly when you pick-up your prize as the store is also kept at 56 degrees.
