This Classically influenced vase made by Melvin bears his trademark "pottery shard" concept.  The "broken" mouth signifies a previous cultural identity, as though the vase had been recently unearthed from an archaeological site.  Melvin's fascination with early ceramics includes his interest in "broken" vessels: remnants of wholeness.  When we view the vase, our mind's eye completes the circle of the rim.  Its beauty comes from an inner sense of form that results in visual completeness.
