Susan Peterson’s Vessel exhibits the artist’s commitment to an expressionist technique. Each stroke of color is gestural and painterly, treating the surface of the object as a canvas. She does not attempt to disguise the vessel’s origins on the potter’s wheel: the imprint from her fingers as she shaped it is clearly visible on the upper body. Peterson remained deeply committed to the philosophies of the vessel tradition for the entirety of her career. While she experimented with scale, color, and surface decoration, she did not abandon the traditional means of production as did so many of her peers in the 1970s.
