One small cup sits floatingtimeless in place.
The swell of the belly
and the curve of the lip,
carry the expanding lines
out into space.
In the Archeological Museum in Heraklion this small cup caught my eye.
About Me
- Ben Richardson
- I work as a potter, exploring and expressing a connection to place through the use of local materials. That place is the South Arm peninsula in south-eastern Tasmania. On the edge of the southern ocean, this is a place of eroded cliffs, refracted ocean swells, rock stacks and the linear natural and human patterning of the tidal zone. The stimulus of my life here is explored through journal poetics and photographs, then expressed in fired clay utensils - a.k.a. pots.
