About the Item

Untitled T-Pot Form Materials : Porcelain Date : 2016 Dimensions : 10 1/2"H x 2 3/4"D x 11"L Description : T-pot form, incised with lines and triangles. Cone 10 reduction Harris Deller about his work: “The ceramic tradition of pottery making is the foundation of my practice. I am interested in dualities, contradictions and internal human dramas joined with the layering of time and history. My visual vocabulary consists of lines, geometric forms, basic color and repetition of simplified shapes, along with a strong affinity for precision, proportion and balance. Pottery is familiar to us and we have a long association with these objects and understand some of the dualities particular to them. The relationship of the inside to the outside, the top to the bottom, form and function, these are accessible to most viewers. Pottery can exist as a sculptural form; works made for display, and at the same time hold on to the notion of function. Pottery can also be made for function and daily use employing tactile qualities and beauty, offering joy and pleasure to both the eye and the hand.” The complexities and abstractness of pottery forms like the teapot and vase inspire Harris Deller. They are constructed from several shapes to make the final form. He also finds inspiration in the plate, the flat concave surface allowing me to approach it in ways similar to how a painter approaches a blank canvas. In addition, the surface of clay can be scratched and incised as well as glazed. Glaze is subjected to heat and influenced by the fire of the kiln. Unlike paint, glaze is transformed; it melts and is affected by gravity. Glaze is viscous and can be transparent or opaque. Glaze flows, surrounding and pooling into textures, fissures and patterns on the surface of the clay. It can be filled with crystals or streaked like an animal’s fur. Glaze imparts it’s own inherent abstract qualities to the work. Pottery necessitates volume for use and that carries with it certain expectations and content such as a volume is “full” or “pregnant” with meaning. Through his work Harris Deller re-examines the role volume plays in pottery. For example, he make cups and teapots where the handle penetrates the volume. Harris Deller also makes cups and teapot – like forms where the volume is “suppressed.” Literally by squeezing the sides of the pot towards each other the air from the volume is removed and the form is altered. The nature of the pot is changed and two convex planes meet at an edge to define the volume. The pot now has 2 sides and alludes to being 2 dimensional and the emphasis is placed on the forms profile and contour. “The illusion of 2 dimensions is enhanced through “mark making” on the planes. Incising and crosshatching into the clay’s surface lends to it the spirit of a drawing. I work with a very coarse white porcelain clay body and inlay the marks with a black glaze that accentuates the whiteness of the porcelain and the graphic quality of the work. My practice finds inspiration from the “mallet shaped” vases of the Sung and Ming Dynasties, Pre-Columbian pots and Cycladic figures. I admire the vitality and soul of the sculptural forms of Hans Coper and the constructed “Stacked Pots” of Peter Voulkos.

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...
