Pete Scherzer

MFA New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University ''My pots are meant to embellish their setting and bring attention to the function they perform. They exist as intriguing, theatrical compositions that produce unexpected visual displays in a familiar object. The thrown and altered pots put on a show and ask for attention. Their use creates a peculiar presentation rather than simply dealing with service. I manipulate such elements to produce captivating results which function through the act of presenting food and drink. While I still operate within the guidelines of plausible domestic objects, the role of presentation encourages a shift towards elaborate and eccentric results.''
