Description

This series of embossed linocuts use classic Greek urn forms to contain curvilinear depictions of energy. The Greek urn shapes were used because of their embodiment of the divine proportion, a ratio and pattern most recognized to humankind which possesses the height of aesthetic and sound perfection — truth.

Perhaps of all the arts that flourished in antiquity, ceramic art has the longest continuous history. And this may well be accounted for by the fact that it was utilitarian, for even in those periods when other arts had declined, people still needed pottery to collect and store their oil, grain, water, and wine. Symbolically, this is where we keep our essentials.


Embossed, hand-wrought linocut, 5x7"
