At
first I thought that the tall chest
of drawers was the one from
Pottery Barn and I thought, «Oh, that looks so much better than her short, incomplete
piece.»
Wonderfully off - hand and slovenly in a way that brings to mind doilies and contorted cigar cleaners as much as amateur
pottery, the
piece owes something to the imposing clusters
of vases and pitchers for which Mr. Lord was
first known but has its own raucous D.I.Y. energy, and an air
of inclusiveness that this show, ambitious as it is, might have taken a little more to heart.
