This is a clay garbage can. There was no artist used for inspiration here. I knew that my skills with clay were limited and that whatever I made would not hold to my standard. It took a more geometric style. The "slip and score" process was not known at the time so i didn't do it. The meaning behind this is held by my skills. I am not very good with clay so I knew my skills would be pretty garbage. I do like how it was designed and the concept of the vessel but it was very poorly constructed. There was no slip and score so the top of it came off and the handle for the top also came off.
