About the Item
In her lakeside studio surrounded by nature, Paula Murray creates uniquely beautiful porcelain pieces. This creamy white vessel has a tall undulating form. Wave-like patterns that run both outside and inside the piece accentuate its elegant sculptural shape. One of a series.
“Working at this scale is particularly exciting. Reading the volume in a human context, I am interested in the dialogue between the inside and the outside. The different stories being shared.” Paula Murray
Born in Ottawa, Paula Murray studied science at the University of Ottawa and ceramics at Sheridan College. Elected into the International Academy of Ceramics (2017) and the Royal Canadian Academy of the Arts (2006) she has based her full-time studio practice from Meech Lake, in Gatineau Park since 1980.
Exhibiting in prestigious exhibitions in Canada, Italy, China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Portugal, Romania and the USA, she has received several awards and creation grants. Public collections include the World Korean Ceramic Foundation Museum, Yingge Ceramic Museum, Taiwan, Museum of Ceramics, Faenza Italy, Canada House, London, UK, and in Canada the Gardiner Museum, Museum of History, and Art Bank.
