Trompe L'oeil Tools

This new art work in ceramics is an homage to my craftsman grandfather, Jacob, from whom I undoubtedly inherited his craftsman's gene, and probably my obsessive tendencies. He cut his index finger off on a band saw. When I was about 5 or 6, on Sundays my family would go to my grandparent’s home for shish kabob. He would put the stump of his finger up to one of his nostrils. The illusion scared me half to death and made me cry.
