A Deeper Cut

A staved vase experimenting with a more aggressive cut on the rim and a small foot. The rim is ABS plastic, heated and formed before gluing in place. The black foot is just India ink, it has a small base plug. I'm interested in your comments, I can't decide if I like it or not! Zebrawood, ebony, ABS and India ink, finished with lacquer. About 7" tall. Inspired by the work of Virginia Dotson and Ulf Jansson. All C&C welcome.

Like you, Steve, I find the piece unsettling. That sharp upward angled, spear point-like corner grabs my attention, uncomfortably. It's not a folksy, warm, homey piece. The reversed angle of the foot, also drew my attention, and I suspect that may not have been intentional.

Art is supposed to produce a feeling or response and this one does that. The success of the piece would depend on what you were going for.
