Back to Studio Craft Movement / Art & Sculpture


"Three Times Tri-Around" by William Daley, 1980

17h x 24w x 26d

Daley worked in stoneware using slabs and press molding to hand-build sculptural vessels such as this one. He left the work unglazed in an effort to emphasize the angularity of each piece. He burnished the surfaces to enhance the variations in the clay. He worked out the construction by making complex drawings for each architecturally detailed sculptural piece. Although function is not a primary consideration for this work, it is a vessel form. The inner space of this vessel is stepped and articulated with complex geometrical and architectural elements. The end result is an object that twists the viewer’s perception of positive and negative space as well as the concept of inside and outside.
