Jim Gottuso
I am very interested in the complete cycle of creating clay objects. Functional demands inform aesthetics and vice versa creating an evolution that hopefully moves forward to better work. I like the imperfections that occur while aspiring to perfection and am learning to let them be. I do not set out with strict limitations and always allow some wiggle room to let something become something else. Consequently, each object's creation is different for me, the immense frontier of possibilities keeps me exhilarated and wondering about the unknown results of the coming years of trial and error that all potters eventually get under their belts appeals to a sense of anticipation about the promise of the future..
My sculpture background provides a subconscious foundation to decide whether a form satisfies my internal aesthetic or not. The evolution of the decorative motifs' inspiration comes from admiring natural beauty as well as the gamut of manmade visual vocabularies. I tend to have a soft spot for artists that have explored mark-making as its own end. -- Jim Gottuso
