| In pursuit of the ideal vase form, this craftsman has been turning bowls for over 50 years. Using skills and knowledge gained through his engineering and machinist backgrounds, Lindquist developed new tools and techniques for working with difficult woods. This vase, inspired by Native American ceramic forms, illustrates the artist's fondness for exploring the individual character of each piece of wood to enhance its imperfections. |
