About the Work
Whanganui-based
Rick
Rudd
is
one
of
New
Zealand's
pre-eminent
potters,
and
this
work
is
an
example
of
his
exploration
into
functional
extremes
of
a
vessel
-
here,
a
teapot,
signalled
by
a
spout
and
a
handle,
becomes
a
flat
puddle
of
lava-like
texture.
Seeing
Rick's
dedication
to
New
Zealand
pottery,
when
we
have
worked
together
on
projects
to
support
the
museum
he
founded
(Quartz,
Museum
of
Studio
Ceramics),
has
been
both
humbling
and
uplifting.
