This one-of-a-kind vase was thrown on the potter's wheel in watertight white stoneware and glazed with an eggshell matte glaze. The surface of this vase was painted with a wax design when it was dry clay. Then it was scrubbed with a wet sponge to erode the unprotected areas, leaving a raised design. The design is based on the mathematical principle of "reaction-diffusion" which is a concept proposed by Alan Turing that determines how the patterns on animal skins and other patterns in nature are generated.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
by Liz Vigoda
Liz Vigoda’s work is grounded in the exploration of the forces and forms of nature; how clay can be moved or eroded in the ways that geological pressures, wind, and water act on geological formations.
It is a meditation on, an expression of, and a participation in the creation of patterns in nature.
