Arnold enjoys making functional pottery that f u l fi l l s s p e c i fi c purposes, such as mugs, teapots, and jars. Drawing from his days as a B M X r i d e r, h i s f o r m s e m b r a c e repetition and pattern. It’s the architecture of the cities, buildings a n d b r i d g e s t h a t fi l l h i s r i c h surfaces. In order to keep the work from becoming too rigid, and losing its allure to function, he introduces lines and blocks of color referencing abstract expressionism.
