Mary Barringer, Stone Personage, 1985, Rare Early Work
Mary Barringer, widely exhibited, published, and collected, is well known for her "drawing" with slips, and some subtle incising, adding definition and incredible character to her pieces. This is a very special early piece and is a rare type of work for Barringer. It has had a single owner since it was created over 20 years ago. I'm not sure if the four feet are obvious in the photos, but they raise the piece up from its surface at least an inch. The piece is thick walled and heavy. Her effect is one of something very ancient. The alternate title she has for this piece is Stone Temple. Her pieces are shown internationally, and in many museums. This piece is coil built. 16 inches (40.5 cm) tall and 12 inches (30.5 cm) square at the base.
