A sculptural jug-like piece with spiky protrusions across its body, made by applying slip to the pot before the piece is glazed. The surface is extremely tactile and the spikes are softened somewhat by the layer of glaze that coats them.

The multiple openings around the top portion of the vase encourage large, playful arrangements.

This piece explores my continued interest in hostile architecture as it is encountered in public spaces, specifically surface spikes and their intriguing ability to appear as attractive, innocuous design details at first glance, despite their hostile intent.
