About Holding Space

In her lakeside studio surrounded by nature, Paula Murray creates uniquely beautiful porcelain pieces. This creamy white vessel has a tall undulating form. Wave-like patterns that run both outside and inside the piece accentuate its elegant sculptural shape. One of a series.

“Working at this scale is particularly exciting. Reading the volume in a human context, I am interested in the dialogue between the inside and the outside. The different stories being shared.” Paula Murray
