It is good to know where you come from. :-)
Some of my favorites work is this way. The most gestural
aspect of my Sensei's work is his slip trailed decoration. In form,
he prefers curves over gesture. Tomimoto was extremely precise.
Japanese potters believe he is more influential than Hamada. Most of
Noguchi's work preferred curve over gesture too. Rembrandt and
Vermeer were into precision. Nobody has surpassed Rembrandt yet.
In woodblocks, you see precision in both Hokusai, Hiroshigi and all
the Ukiyo-e. The camera set the medium free, to a degree.

I wish this were true, but.... Your hands can be tight or
loose. Your mind can be tight or loose. You spirit can be tight or
loose. The work is filtered through them all.

Linda is one of my favorite potters.
Loose or tight doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the
speed at which you work. The Foreman and head thrower at my teacher's
workshop is very fast and very precise. I am very slow. I was
so slow, that it annoyed the Foreman.
I am so slow that I lecture better than I demo.
