Earthly Visions, Celestial
Alignments: Robert Harrison's Accomplishment
This essay draws upon three earlier articles on the work of Robert
Harrison by Rick Newby: "Robert Harrison: Shrines for Potters,"
published in American Ceramics (New York, NY), Autumn 1991;
"Rooms within Rooms: The Installations of Robert Harrison,
19811992," first published in the catalog to the Robert Harrison
exhibition, "Architecture without Walls," University
of South Australia Art Museum, September-October, 1992, and reprinted,
in slightly different form, in Ceramics: Art & Perception
(Sydney, Australia), Winter 199293; and "Robert Harrison:
Spirited Variations," published in Ceramic Review
(London, United Kingdom), Spring 2000.
All quotes by Robert Harrison are drawn from a series of interviews
with Rick Newby conducted between 1990 and 2000.
Rick Newby is a poet, editor, and critic living in Helena,
Montana. His articles on contemporary sculptors have appeared
in American Craft, American Ceramics, Ceramics:
Art & Perception (Australia), Ceramic Review (United
Kingdom), [high ground], and Sculpture. Newby's
essay on the origins of the Archie Bray Foundation, co-written
with Chere Jiusto, will appear in Ceramic Continuum: Fifty
Years of the Archie Bray Influence (Holter Museum of Art/University
of Washington Press, 2001).
