Art Funded by you

Funerary Jar (red)

Julian Stair, 2005

Stair has stated that the specific function of this pot establishes a 'physical relationship with the body'. Its unglazed surface celebrates the intrinsic tactile qualities of clay. It enhances and updates Gallery Oldham's collection of function vessels and adds a new dimension to the collection with its architectural and sculptural qualities.
