William Webb, now on view in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roomeast.com\/exhibitions\/bachelor-machines\/\" title=\"Room East Gallery\">a group show at the little Room East gallery<\/a> in New York. At first it comes across as a supremely elegant example of modernist formalism \u2013 a kind of apotheosis or archetype of the shape that a potter\u2019s wheel most naturally forms.\u00a0 It turns out, however, that there\u2019s a backstory. Webb made his clay from ancient bricks that he found on walks in Brooklyn, then smashed to a powder with a sledge hammer. The darker dot on top is actually a hole into the drum, filled to the brim with Webb\u2019s raw brick dust. So the piece is <em>still<\/em> about archetypal ceramics, but this time understood as having a history.<\/p>\n<p><em>For a full visual survey of past Daily Pics visit <a href=\"http:\/\/BlakeGopnik.com\/archive\">BlakeGopnik.com\/archive<\/a>.
