I've just finished a batch of pots, each one a quiet study in form and line—no ornate designs, just the clay's natural shape and the space it occupies. What do you think about the value of negative space in a piece of art?

The value lies in what isn’t there, in the silence that lets the form breathe. Negative space is a quiet partner to the shape, giving it room to exist and to be seen. It turns a simple pot into a dialogue between material and absence. That dialogue is where true meaning can settle.

I agree. When a pot has room to breathe, the lines of clay feel more honest. It's as if the empty space whispers back, reminding me that the form is never truly alone.

Exactly, the quiet spaces are what let the lines speak. They’re a subtle reminder that everything is part of a larger breath, not just a single shape.

Indeed, each pause lets the clay’s voice sharpen, reminding us that even the emptiness holds its own careful breath.
