Donna Webb has been making pottery now for over thirty years and she's become quite handy at it. In her words: a vessel can be read as the dynamic tension between external and internal forces; between the force from the inside which creates volume and the force from the outside which limits and defines the form. Color and texture on the surface of a vessel are as natural as the rind on a melon or the shell of an egg. Natural objects and living beings often seem to be "decorated" in ways that are expressive of the form. Human beings have observed these natural patterns and have a long history of decorating the tools and objects they made often painting or tattooing them selves as well. I think of these things when I make pottery.
