Liz Lurie

Liz Lurie – core artist

​

Liz communicates a strong sense of muscular physicality, harmony and a quiet beauty that reveals itself slowly in her work.

She is interested in the subtle changes in form that happen over time, a slightly different angle, a lowering of volume, or an addition of an appendage. These slight nuanced variations give rise to the evolution of form.

​

Liz finds deep satisfaction in working within the limits of function. For her, there is freedom in the structure that use provides. She finds it fulfilling to look at a full studio of stacked bowls and cups, teapots and plates knowing they will be hard at work in the hands of others. There is directness to their intention as they fulfill their lives on counters, in cupboards and dish racks.

 

"I am excited to bring new work to Dallas this year. I am focusing on a two different series of work. The double bowl series are wall and table pieces in which I am thinking about balance and relationships both together and apart.  

 

The other series are objects always found on the table. Dinnerware plates, ewers, cups, and teapots, I will be exploring pattern, soft greys and whites with fat buttery glazes that have a physicalness to them. I’m working in both stoneware and porcelain because I like the variety of surface each clay provides.  My intention is to communicate nuance, subtilty, tactility, and presence. Comfort and beauty in the everyday object. "
