Reasons to examine materials and processes
When it comes to an artistic work, the process is just as important as the result. That said, nothing is more important than reviewing the materials and methods used in addition to process, especially when it comes to a work that puts emphasis on material properties. It is for this reason that vessel forms and material properties are dictated by the materials an artist selects; the ways in which he/she tackles them, and the order in which he/she works.
