About the Item

Unique hand-built vessels with a sculptural point of view. Taylor Ruby Bell is a former art dealer of Post War and Contemporary prints and multiples. After over 10 years of looking at and selling work made by other artists, Taylor began making objects of her own. With a nod to her Egyptian heritage, ancient artifacts, and Modernist art/furniture/architecture, Taylor hand-builds unique vessels that are truly meant to be timeless. Taylor approaches each sculpture as its own unique object where imperfections are embraced and surprises inherent in the hand-building process are highlighted. The geometry of the forms is complimented by the visibility of the artist's hand, as every pinch, cut and smoothing gesture is unabashedly shown. The handmade feel of the objects embraces the medium of clay itself and draws attention to the process of pinching of coiling. Each piece is individually hand built so that no two pieces are identical—perfectly imperfect. Each vessel is hand built from clays chosen for their color and texture, with the exteriors often left unglazed to highlight the inherent beauty of the clay itself. Interiors are always glazed in clear, ensuring each vessel can hold water for floral arrangements.
