Jane Wheeler

"For me, the vessel, a space-containing hollow form, offers the richest language for working in clay. Its conceptual simplicity allows readings that allude to our most distant cultural pasts, and to the state of being human. Its limitations are those for which the potter’s tool and equipment are designed; it is a familiar scenario within which to work. Thus it becomes necessary to make working and the work uncomfortable in some way, to push the boundaries in order to attempt discovery of new or hidden qualities of this profoundly significant, yet ordinary object"
