RUSSELL
"It starts with the clay."
Christopher Russell has been working with clay for over 30 years. In his latest vessels and wall pieces, dynamic in structure and decoration, he is inventing new forms and surfaces, pushing ceramic’s possibilities. Each unique piece stands alone as an artwork while complementing interior and architectural spaces.

Dimmers allow light levels to be adjusted from soft to bright, making it possible for Geo to create its own environment.
One thing that I think is so successful with Geo is how good it looks when the light is not on. It reads as a sculptural ceramic painting with its own life.
With my table lamps, I saw how well light and ceramic work together. Light brings out the beauty of glazes. When I began thinking about a piece for the wall, I wanted a design that would interact with light in a different way from the table pieces. Geo comes from more of a traditional tile form than from the vessel tradition.
