Susan Harris makes ceremonial-inspired vessels. Harris has a long-held fascination with artifacts from the past, most notably ancient oriental and Etruscan bronze ritual vessels. She typically uses an iron-bearing clay, which she embellishes with impressed designs and populates them with small creatures—frogs, snails, and scorpions. Her surfaces have become much more tactile, textural, embellished and embossed since this piece from the early 1990s. She has been perfecting her ideas, firings, and textures for the last thirty years. Harris typically treats her unglazed ritual containers with mineral composite washes, resulting in color gradations heightened through a reduction-cooled process—such as seen in Urn, whose skin looks like wrought iron. While Harris is well known for her fine art ceramics, she continues to make exceptional functional pottery.
