Sculptural Portfolio
About this collection
Forms made to hold attention.
The sculptural portfolio gathers non-functional and altered ceramic forms, including Mark’s twisted-top bottles. Many begin on the pottery wheel before they are compressed, joined, carved, or reshaped so that the finished object carries both the balance of a thrown form and the energy of hand alteration.
Rather than serving a single practical purpose, these vessels are intended to be viewed from changing angles. Neck, shoulder, opening, and surface rhythm all contribute to the silhouette, while glaze gathers in recesses and breaks across raised texture. The result is a one-of-a-kind ceramic object with a strong physical presence.
