David Eichelbergers clay work exhibits a refined senseof design, with crisp forms executed thoughtfully and flawlessly. The surfaceof Eichelbergers work is enhanced with quiet markings embodying a determinedprecision. Subtle variations in color and texture resulting from atmosphericfiring add another dimension. The result is a fresh, futuristic feel thatinvolves the viewer in quiet appreciation today, and a level of depth thathints at the stream of delightful surprises that will come with tomorrow'scontemplation. The balance between simplicity and complexity becomes a focusnot only with Eichelbergers forms, but also with his surface treatment andfiring preferences.
