Artwork Description

Warren MacKenzie uses tools such as files, wire, cheese cutters, and wheels from toy trucks to create patterns on his pieces. The artist has replaced the traditional round body of this pot with flat sections that were created by cutting the side of the vessel once it was partially dry.
