My wheel altered is a small and round vase/cup/ thing. It is about 2 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall. The top is broken and the bottom has cuts taken out. I wanted to learn how to foot without being on the wheel, so I used a knife to cut pieces out. There is black glaze in the cuts but in the center there is a purple and pink flower. The colors and the shape (the cuts and the broken top) create contrast. The outside is supposed to look harsh, almost city-like and man-made because I tried to make the black glaze that is inside of the cuts look like a city skyline. The inside is a flower representing nature. I wanted to use juxtaposition, comparing the natural world to the broken man-made society. The broken pieces on the top help to create broken down look with the outside, but when you are looking at the inside, the broken pieces help to finish the ends of the petals.
