Erik is able to coil so many beautiful shapes and forms. Jars, bowls, canteens, vases, and miniatures. We are always interested in his plates. Always a challenge to fire traditionally, as there is risk of breakage, this new plate is so classic. Hand coiled, painted, polished, and then fired outdoors, when you look at it in the right light, you see a gun metal like sheen. The band of prayer feathers is separated by an area of geometric shapes. Erik explained to me: This plate to me is representative of sunrise and sunset with the feathers at east and west representing the sun. The geometric designs represent the evening start and the morning star out of the clouds. The checkerboard design represents the actual stars.” This is a lovely traditional black on black San Ildefonso plate.
