Description
This vessel, elegantly conical in form, is adorned with an intricate lichen-like patterning of warm earthy tones. The interior exhibits a shock of cyan blue, drawing the eye in, while the exterior is marked with both a softly dimpled imprint of the artist’s hand and delicately carved splices that appear like gills upon the vessel’s surface.
About the Artist
Jack Doherty is a ceramic artist based in Cornwall. Using one clay body, one colouring mineral and one single firing technique, Doherty’s singleness of process and practice of utmost refinement has granted him a way of making that allows him to speak of the stories that are important to him. Doherty’s fascination with prehistoric ceramics is revealed through the form of the vessels themselves, whose archetypal shapes have their roots in a universal history.
