Steve Harrison Large Jar - 1999 Green Salt-glazed
In its long-standing infatuation with polymath potter Steve Harrison, Choosing Keeping is pleased to offer a small selection of historical pieces which offer an insight into the artist's beginnings and re-imaginations. Working through different kilns, clay types and finishes, each rendering unique idiosyncrasies, Steve's early work is often starker and closer to the British studio pottery rugged aesthetic. Mid-career pieces offer development into historical and sometimes more feminine forms. Later pieces straddle the field of fine art, obsessive with experimentation and pushing boundaries. All have in common the vigour and passion of the artist. This spectacular and large jar, from 1999 features Steve's classic rich and gregarious green colour, elegant lotus shaped lid and more robust and confident 'bashed' dent - an idiosyncratic and deliberate studio pottery effect to give the pot character and more importantly a 'front' side.
