Day 38 Art

I think this is my favorite piece of pottery. It seems sort of regal and peaceful to me. It was made by my friend Steve Dark. Oddly, Steve is not known for "peaceful," art. I just found this great comment on his work:

"In his over twenty year career, Steven has largely disdained functional pottery in favor of . . . an inner need to express himself in defiance of the demands of a market sometimes unable to appreciate the need for the funky and unusual; sometimes humorous and sometimes somber, expressing the seemingly disappearing idea that art is made to satisfy the demands of the soul of the artist and not to please the vagaries of popular taste."
