Incise

I chose the "Red Artichoke" by Michael Wisner. When I learned that incised ceramics was making a design out of cutting I looked it up and saw many designs that had boats or flowers or waves and this one stood out to me the most. Not only is the vibrant color eye catching, but the use of cutting itself is remarkable. It looks quite simple when you first glance at it, but than when you look longer you can only imagine the patience and precision that went into it. Each cut is clean and the same measurement is used with the same design through the whole vase. I appreciate the intricate and detailed designe that comes off in a simple form.
