Nature is composed of organic forms.  It is difficult to find a perfectly straight line, geometrically correct square, or smoothly rounded circle.  Composed of Earth, clay is a product of nature; yet, through human intervention, it is manipulated into unnatural forms.  What happens if instead the clay is rolled thin and allowed to fold as it may?  The clay bends and folds in on itself.  No two slabs of clay will form an identical pair.  This is just as no two snowflakes match patterns and no two tree branches curve in the same manner.
