Mary Lindheim’s #163 is a large rectangular vessel with a tall, footed base constructed using large slabs of clay to create a rigid, geometric form. The corresponding lid has an abstract, gestural quality, with three vertical columns connected by two staggered, horizontal bars that form a double handle. The surface of the jar and lid are dripped with a variegated glaze, yielding a patchy surface of rusty red, blue, and green dependent on the thickness of the application. As a whole, the piece encourages the viewer to think beyond the utilitarian nature of pottery and see its potential as abstract expressionist sculpture.
