About the Work
"It's
amazing
to
me
how
it
doesn't
take
much
for
something
to
become
strange.
Something
so
minor,
some
small
variation
on
the
expected,
it
can
be
barely
noticeable.
This
pitcher
is
such
a
familiar
form,
yet
so
strange!
It
would
be
hard
to
say
if
it
came
from
the
year
200
or
20,000,
but
I
think
it
would
be
comfortable
in
both
eras."
