Looked at from above, built one above the other, that is how this game is played. And in a perfect circle which is created when the clay is turned on the turntable in a concentric inward-looking ideal form. The incredible delight comes from the combination of big with small, of colour and its nuances. Only as a whole it does become an abstract composition, full of harmony and peace - a real piece of art. But then it also turns into something which can be used for the presentation of food: and the eyes are also devouring as well!
