Artist's Statement, 'Hanging Portal' - 'Portals,' Winter Show & Silent Auction, 2011:

     stoneware, copper

A portal leads through a doorway.  I see this opening as a opportunity.  What these words have in common-portal, doorway, opening, opportunity is the shape of the letter "O".  Even the numeral "0" occupies a maximum of space, holding that space open, an opening. With my piece I have tried to convey that simple visual opening.
