Pauls pale vessel holds a quiet tension, its symmetry gently pressed inward as though by some unseen force. Three bands of marbled clay cut across the surface like strata in a cliff face, each layer suggesting rock compressed over centuries. The form feels geological and weighty, a cross section of land captured in clay, where pressure and time are written plainly in the stripes.
