Featured Ceramics Artist: Matthew Harris



If you are familiar with the Craft Centre's own Benito Tyjeski and his sculptural work, check out the artist Matthew Harris from Boulder, Colorado. His work is currently featured in the latest issue of Ceramics Monthly and can be seen on the contemporary ceramics website ArtAxis.org.

Some of his previous works include a series of statuary heads, similar to Benito's figural sculptures which also explore a variety of cultures. In the featured image, titled Bourgeois Tomb Guardian (13 x 20 x 8 inches, 2007), Harris creates a traditional head piece and gives it a modern touch by adding mixed media on some of the inner surfaces.
