This sculptural format of his three-dimensional ceramic art has its roots in 15th century Italy in the style of Luca Della Robbia. His works fall somewhere between painting and sculpture and his style of portraiture demonstrates a strong understanding of drawing and depict a sense of depth in a shallow plane. His contemporaries considered him one of the most important innovators of the century. This artform is rarely practiced in the United States, probably due to its potential loss rate and the complexity of the assemblage. These works are acknowledged as some of the most difficult sculptures to successfully execute in ceramic materials; and this body of work has emerged as one of the unique art forms created in the United States today.
