In the mid 1990s I began to alter thrown cylinders by expanding parts of their wall from inside, while pressing other areas on the outside, forming convoluted surfaces – what I called ‘bulgy pots‘. I played with various shapes of bulges: curlicues, long sweeping lines, images, such as fruit and even figurative elements.
I also loved the simple, round, Southwest-American-Native pottery shapes, whose rotund surfaces asked to be decorated or altered with bulges.
