He’ss a Prodigy

Pete reflects on the genius of his early works.

The pottery is a reaction to the disorder of modern art. Within each pot, I find order in the most chaotic times. Despite the ostensible perfection in the roundness of the final product, you can still experiment with the color schemes so that you can maintain stability in form, but stimulate the senses. The integrity of the physical nature of the artwork remains intact, while the other elements enhance the artwork’s aesthetic. People can find meaning because the composition itself is not esoteric.

Precocious and worldly, Pete demonstrated his knowledge of history and architecture with an astonishingly realistic rendition of Stonehenge.
A ceramic turtle reveals the young Pete’s whimsy and love of animals.
But he also had a practical side. This ceramic pot would make a lovely present for any proud parent (we’re sure Pete’s parents were overjoyed).
