My friend Syd is a ceramic artist, and I did a lifestyle shoot with her. she was working on some final shaping on a few pots, and this shot is her surveying her work. Though her art has rough and moody vibes, she so carefully and patiently forms her ceramics. She lets her works become natural and undone art in the most delicately organic way.
