BOB KINZIE

Artist Statement

February, 2008

My long years involved with the potters wheel recently includes
experiments with the application of wet clay to a thrown cylinder
which are then expanded from the inside, coupled with selective
drying.

The resultant surface has elements of inadvertency
reminiscent of the Mingei style.

Using a variation of tools on the wet clay gives me a variety of
surprising textures, that keep me exploring for more.

By using these textured slabs I can create numerous vase forms
by hand building with them.
