these are further quotes:
Life is not a problem to solve but a mystery to be lived.
The landscape becomes the pot=ADthe pot becomes the landscape.
We must find the center of our existence with our heart and soul not just=
our mind.=20
Sioux saying:=E2=80=9CTo the earth and all beings we are as relatives.=E2=80=
=9D
Can you understand that mountains and lakes are part of my soul?
If your work is not a reflection of your life, either of the two is false
Art takes you from the mundane to a better place.=20
You look into a glass mirror to see your face.
You look into a work of art to see your soul.
You are as much about what you don=E2=80=99t say as what you do say.
Enjoy the process. Whatever is done well is done with enthusiasm.=20
I want to make pots that wrap their arms around you.
Gentle authority; practiced grace.
Art as an experience of nature or nature as experience of art
All good art is spiritual. Creating art is a search for something beyond=
awareness.=20
If you don=E2=80=99t know what you should be making --- keep working--- it=
will come to you.
The art of the craftsmen is a bond between the peoples of the world. =
(Gaston Bachelard)
Like the understanding of art and literature --- appreciation of wild nature=
depends on education and represents one of the highest achievements of our=
culture.
In wilderness, the world gets put back to its own music. Wipe out wilderness=
and the world=E2=80=99s a cage.=20
When you become so absorbed in your work that beauty flows naturally from=
within then your work becomes a work of Art.=20
