Peter Voulkos

This ceramic piece is called the Rocking Pot. It was created by Peter Voulkos in 1956. It is made out of stoneware and can be located at the Smithsonian America Art Museum. Voulkos actually helped out with the clay movement in Los Angeles. It was assembled through the slab technique. I chose this sculpture because it reminds me of something that was created in the caveman years. I think it reminds me of that era of time because of the color and the structure. Furthermore, it gives me an uneasy feeling with the sticks poking out of the holes. Additionally, I like how the sticks are curved and not straight through.
