About the Artwork
A waste environment. An apocalyptic vision. The new normal.
This pot reminds me of a rock sticking out of the ground. The glaze enhances that idea. It is one of my favourite shapes.
About the Artist
Warren Ogden has been potting for approximately eight years, and enjoys hand building both for the process and the aesthetic. He enjoys how the clay communicates with him as to where it wants to go, allowing it to naturally follow its own form. Ogden finds peace working under a tree in his backyard.
