Michael Kline
Despite the many tangents that lead me this way and that in the course of making pottery, the ideas, desires and excitement of clay remain very close to those at the very beginning of my career. To be sure, the outcome of experience and effort, trial and error has evolved through the years. But the process still begins with the simple, ecstatic response to a ball of soft clay. The successful pot elicits a similar response in the context of the home (domestic landscape?). The mountains of North Carolina provide plenty of inspiration with their wildly exuberant flora, geological plenty and the pottery history that sprang from these geological circumstances. Strong pottery form and patterns that evoke the complexity of this natural environment continue to guide my interests in this current body of work.
By some combination of optimism and risk, my collaboration with the natural properties of clay and wood fire continues to lead me through this potters life at times exasperated and at times, exhilarated. -- Michael Kline
