According to the artist, "Carved lines that are soft yet sharp distinguish this piece. Carving is usually done with a blade, but I used the force of water. When the clay was leather hard, I brushed water-repellent resin over the areas I did not want to carve. Then I used a wet sponge to wipe away the unprotected areas to the desired depth. The carving extends to the rim of the bowl and seems to reach beyond into space. I applied an understated pale blue glaze in order to give prominence to the carving."
