“Contrast is a constant element in life and nature. We see a community garden that grows wild in the heart of a bustling, structured city. We see a rose sit on a stem of thorns. Also, life and nature provide constant inspiration for movement and sensuality.These elements, contrast, movement and sensuality, provide the basis for my ceramic work. As in nature, there is often a clear delineation between light and dark. One always follows the other. I use curvaceous, yet exact and crisp, lines to make the same distinction in my work. As each piece is viewed, each pose should present a different image to the viewer while part of the piece is shadowed. These lines also elicit a movement that suggests a dance between the piece and the viewer. This is where I find my inspiration to continue creating.” – Peter Cunicelli
