Artwork Description

Bob Stocksdale enjoyed experimenting with new shapes, and his work explores a wide variety of bowl forms. In each of these pieces he has elevated the vessel by balancing it on a narrow foot. Stocksdale did not consider his design before starting to turn, but often allowed the rich patterns and colors in his exotic materials to dictate the finished form.
