The idea of function in the Arts Community is often seen as an old and intellectually devoid issue. The decision from a wide range of gallery owners, museum directors, and art critics is that functional works are bound to the past and are unable to reflect or engage modern sensibilities. On the contrary, the idea of function is the very aspect that makes the individual capable of experiencing pottery with all his senses. Use affords a level of immediate understanding through physical interaction. What follows are relationships that can create experiences normally associated with fine art such as feelings of spirituality or of personal reflection. These interactions can change the perception the individual may have of pottery. My work can inform the user of the significance of utility and attempt to make him or her aware of the profound nature of use as experience, one that is too easily overlooked.
