Biomorphic Weed Pot
What does “biomorphic” mean? In art, the term refers to abstracted forms suggestive of living organisms. Joan Miró’s paintings, with their playful amoeba shapes, are a good example. Biomorphism was very popular in ceramics in the 1960s-1970s, though it has many antecedents in folk pottery, going back as far as the Neolithic Jomon culture of Japan. This little weed pot (signed “JWC”) recalls a sessile sea creature, a tunicate or a sponge, perhaps.
