"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.

NEW WORK

With my latest pieces, I keep working “Towards Yellow”.

I discovered lemon! With a dark blue it takes on a distinctly Mediterranean mood.

My shapes are getting more and more complex, and bigger and bigger. I’m pushing them to be architectural, to fill a room with their presence. I’m going for statuesque.
