Thomas Harris

Clay

Deconstructivist in ideation, his bowls cups and teapots are brilliantly colored exercises in surface decoration--painterly splashes of bold in-your-face blues, yellows, greens, oranges. Harris says he "looks for the unique in utilitarian forms, often misshaping the form after having thrown it.“ Set off by a luminescent glow or polish, they appear to be some type of primeval mysterious fruit or groves of extravagant wildflowers unfolding in the heart of the mid-day sun.
