Aaron Sober


 
Like a pair of work boots, my pots are made to be durable and masculine, but also not without grace. As I strive to infuse functional forms with these qualities, some level of humor is communicated in their surface decoration: strange animals and thorny plants abound, bucktooth rabbits sit on the sides of teapots, complex designs wrap around jars. By working with images from nature that are sometimes disconcerting, amusing, or even peaceful, my pottery communicates something of both the beauty, patterns, and truth of the natural world.
 
Like all crafters, the process of making work is one that continues to satisfy, humble, and challenge. This relationship to a material undeniably shows through in every piece. As I go through a production cycle, I attempt to handle the clay in a direct, confident, and un-fussed manner. In doing so, it is my hope that the work has a strong and uncomplicated presence. -- Aaron Sober
