Phyllis Kudder Sullivan














Talk about technical skill!!!  Sullivan takes coils of stoneware and weaves them together to make these basket woven "vortices".  That's right, this is STONEWARE!!!  I am awed by the detail and effort that goes into theses pieces.  Her focus is on the void in the middle of the pieces, that dark empty, but energy rich center found in almost all of her pieces.

For my purposes I am inspired by her attention to detail, I really feel this makes a huge difference.  She could have just slapped together huge pieces with massive coils but it wouldn't have had near the same shock value.  I hope to focus on detail as well as she does for my pieces as well.
