Originally undertaken as a portrait of Graham Marks and his work in ceramic sculpture, the film evolved into a meditation on the powers of fire, the nature of the creative act, and the vessels, rooms, and chambers wherein certain transformations take place. The film seeks to provoke a potency, a mystery, by cinematic and poetic means.

"... provocative, surreal meditation ...." - Booklist

"... a mysterious philosophical work [that asserts] the opaque, magical quality of art ...." - Amos Vogel
