About the Item

David Bolton Title : Peacock Bourbon Bottle Materials : Wood-fired porcelain Date : 2018 Dimensions : 7 x 5.25 x 2.75 inches David Bolton: "Jim Lawton, my teacher at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, compared altering his pots with the process of darting clothes. Instead of altering a garment around a human body, the vessel is altered around a conceived volume. As do many ceramic artists I see the strong connection between the ceramic vessel and the human body. Les and Jim heightened my awareness of this metaphor in pottery through their teaching. In my work I reference textile patterns and patterns from other sources and apply them to the “fabric” of the clay. Often these patterns are tessellations, patterns that repeat and go on and on, only to be met with a seam, a lip, a foot and then continue on in the next panel in a different direction. Many of these patterns are nostalgic to me, such as paisleys, plaids, checkerboard, hound’s-tooth, and other loud patterns I was introduced to through 70s clothing. The patterns are created digitally and then wood fired. The idea of new and old process fascinates me, but in the end it is the variation in color and soft flowing kiln atmosphere that blurs the tight edge designs that pleases me most. The firing gives the “fabric” a sense of time and wear like an old work shirt, albeit a fancy work shirt."

Monumental Covered Jar #1
By Mariko Brown Harkin
Located in Kansas City, MO
Materials : Terracotta, white gold luster Date : 2016 Dimensions : 16 x 8.5 x 8.5 inches Description : wheel thrown and altered terracotta, cone 04 oxidation, glazes and luster COA provided Mariko Brown Harkin about her work: "My fascination with pottery comes from my desire to make art and to produce something that is not only functional but visually appealing. Porcelain allows me stretch and shape the clay in any way I choose and offers a blank canvas for my floral imagery and luscious, rich glazes to blend. The forms I create are tight and precise with a sense of restricted volume. I use bands around the form to constrict specific areas of each piece, while at the same time creating space for the volume and fullness to escape. The bands create registers to frame my drawings and paintings of floral imagery. The way I combine surface and form is inspired by Ming Dynasty porcelain...
