Aloha,

My pottery pieces are my feelings captured in clay. The hands that massage my wife’s shoulders, that cover the holes of my bamboo flute, and that strike when I’m doing Karate, are used to throw my pots. The pieces that I create express love, peace, and a “tranquil dark side”.

Most of my surface embellishments are balls of wet clay that are rolled in my hands and applied to the wet pot. So when you rub your fingers against the pot, your fingers will bump along, possibly feeling what I felt as I squished the clay on the surface.

My work is inspired by my traveling, nature, and people. I name my pieces from this inspiration, e.g. “Waterfall” from waterfalls seen in Skagway, Alaska, “Tiffany” from a museum in Budapest, “Polynesian” from growing up in Hawaii.

Mahalo,

Rudy Pacarro
