About the Work
We
are
so
lucky
to
have
Rick
Rudd
and
the
Quartz
Museum
of
Ceramics
here
in
Whanganui.
I
am
fortunate
to
have
several
pieces
of
his
work.
It
is
primarily
a
celebration
of
line
–
of
the
uninterrupted
curve.
It
is
absolutely,
deliciously
satisfying
from
every
angle
–
absolute
perfection.
Ballet
Dancers
put
themselves
through
endless
muscular
disciplines
to
develop
the
skills
to
achieve
the
same
faultless
contour.
