Title: Deconstructed Cup

Artist: Ed Eberle

Destruction as an act of creation, ‘Deconstructed Cup’ removes and then rebuilds its purpose to reflect the temporality of a vessel. Ederle frequently works in architectural terms with his thrown pots, working at an elemental level to reveal “inner truths” and using uneven or broken shapes to develop consciously hidden or unexpected results. The works classical motif and simple interplay of white clay and terra sigellata recalls Greek white-ground pottery.
