Were the flute did that come from?
Curiosity got the better of me.
Interested to see were my current work has it roots, I dug back through the hundreds of images of my previous artwork. I was surprised to see how early and frquently the cone or flute form appeared.
What was surprising was that one of my first commissions ever was a pair of creative drinking cups for a couple of young lovers.
Another was a figurative vessel for for communal use, with multiple drinking openings.
