Dan Hammett


Professor and Department Chair

Ceramics

Artist Statement

The uniqueness of an experience has always been registered as a visual image. As time passes, the less important parts may fade, but the essence of the experience is captured as a visual.

It was a wonderful experience to view the pottery at the Vatican, the Athens Museum, and the Herakleion Museum, on the island of Crete. I saw hundreds upon thousands of amphora in their magnificent splendor. I saw the playful and imaginative Minoan transformation of common utilitarian objects to unique forms embellished by images of nature. However, the image that burned most vividly in my mind's eye was that of a chard.

While walking through the ruins of the Palace of Knosses, I noticed at the edge of a pile of rubble a small broken piece of pottery lying half imbedded in the soil. I gently retrieved the chard and found a brush stroke of slip on the surface. With closer examination, the other side revealed a fingerprint. It was a print as clear as it could be, left by the finger of the potter during the process of forming.

When recalling the time I spent in Europe, the entire experience was encapsulated when I touched what had been touched before.

Dan Hammett
