The forms and colors present throughout McCabe's work show his love for classical design as well as the personal oddity of each pot. His hope for his vessels is that they may speak out to the viewer and stimulate the desire to touch the work and establish a relationship with it; from his hands to yours. Hoping the thoughts that go into his work, through line, form, and color, paint a similar idea for the viewer. Or, as in many cases, a whole new series of thoughts can be developed. His pottery expresses a sense of homeliness yet excitement, quietness yet confidence, and duration yet vigor. Like a good home, pottery expresses warmth, comfort, and spirit."
