Steve Tootell- Mackenzi Pereira

 


This plate is one of Steve Tootell's works. I really like the different colors he used together because you wouldn't expect those colors to complement each other. I also really like the abstractness of the way he designed the plate. There is no clear design and it's just a mixture of different shapes and splatters.

Her artwork remains part of a permanent collection at the Smithsonian Institution. I really enjoy this piece because of the animal and the pattern surrounding it. The black strokes against the white background of the pot easily capture one’s attention. Additionally, the symmetry of three lines for each shape ple...
