Linda Christianson

cominued from page f

The presence of Christianson’ s hands lin-
gers on in subtle traces, fingerprint out-
lines on edges, digit-furrowed ridges along
sides, irregular spouts that could only have
been shaped by a particular thumb ane
forefinger. Although the word decoration
implies surface, Chnstianson hopes that
the marks from her tools and hands go
much deeper than that. “I am interested in
imparting an emotion, a spirit to these
pots”, she says.
