Pottery can survive lava yet
is fragile to handling and dropping.
Seven vessels,
only one brown vase is
symmetrical; the rest
of the pottery bends at the
belly. Two misshapen brown
vessels lie down instead
of resting on their feet. Two black
vases have narrow necks and
mouths, one with bulbous
shoulders. Wayne Perry uses
terra cotta and black stoneware
to show the variety of skin
tone in Black and Brown
comunidades. All have endearing
proportions, as in ceramics when
measurements and math create
fuzzy feelings. Their movement
shows ephemera and viscera.
