TOR HARRISON
Tor Harrison, a British artist based in Berlin, specializes in the creation of hand-built ceramic vessels and objects. Her practice is a homage to the art of slow making, cherishing the inherent imperfections and quiet resilience found in handcrafted pieces. With each creation, Tor celebrates the ancient tradition of working with clay, allowing the subtle fingermarks on the surface to serve as a tangible link between her hands and the observers.
Her work is characterized by a deliberate slowness and a freedom of form, shaped by the rhythmic process of creation. Through the medium of clay, Tor finds a profound connection to the earth, engaging in a primal act of creation with a living material. Drawing from pre-industrial techniques such as pinch, coiling, and slab building, his hand-built forms directly translate the essence of the earth into tangible objects, each one bearing the imprint of his touch and a deep reverence for the craft.
