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.

"I always have the goal of creating work with the command and charisma of a piece of art."

From the Studio:
CUBIST ZURICH

Always inspired by the propulsive energy of my favorite modernist artists, I’ve been pushing myself to make more and more kinetic, eccentric shapes for my Zurich Collection.

Each piece is a learning experience, visually and technically. Slowly building the faceted forms has been a lesson in geometry! But it’s alway satisfying to see a piece that was in your head come out of the kiln. Here are some shots of my process from the studio.
