> celebrate his life, personal relationships and his
> deteriorating health. His work displays a diversity
> of influences. It refers to the abstract ceramics of
> his contemporaries combined with the liveliness and
> spontaneity of modern North American ceramics and
> the folk traditions of the Pre-Columbian American art.
