Photo by S. Rowe<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Her work is driven, she says, by questioning, searching and wrestling with ideas of identity, worth and purpose. \u201cMy quest to find a medium, process and techniques which would be the foundation of the synthesis of an exploration of ideas led me to using porcelain clay,\u201d she says. Through the years, research and experimentation have helped her discover a composite formula that closely replicates kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, among other elements, so that the breakage and repair are part of the beauty. \u201cGold leaf is applied in torn and fragmented pieces to the interior and outpouring features of the vessel,\u201d says Harrell, \u201cspeaking of process, unfinished, ongoing revelation of worth, joy, beauty in reflecting value to the work around us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She often begins a piece with fragments of thoughts in mind until she visualizes a form, holds it \u201cin the imagination of my hands\u201d and can then capture it with a quick sketch. When she works with the clay, subtle changes happen, opening up further avenues of reflection. \u201cAll sorts of things can finish a piece,\u201d she says. \u201cVisual satisfaction and unity of thought, as in the end of a paragraph, is the most accurate analogy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harrell grew up in Lakeland, Florida, where nature and creativity filled her days. \u201cMy parents provided a lot of unstructured time for play, imagination and games,\u201d she says. During her studies in design and architecture at the University of Florida, she took her first ceramics class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy interest at the time focused on figurative work, head, expression, aging, vessels, textural relationship and learning to make glazes,\u201d she says. \u201cI continued to study sculpture and photography along with interior design.\u201d After graduation she began a career in corporate interior design, later working with residential design and painting. When, later, she began teaching visual art in public schools, she felt as if she had gone back to school herself, she says, \u201cCreating a 3D-heavy ceramic program in middle school provided the opportunity to work almost daily and to broaden my technical skills with clay and art promotion,\u201d says Harrell.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54157\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54157\" class=\"wp-image-54157\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Feature-Artist_-Deneece-Harrell_103.JPG-Deneece-Harrell-artist.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Feature-Artist_-Deneece-Harrell_103.JPG-Deneece-Harrell-artist.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Feature-Artist_-Deneece-Harrell_103.JPG-Deneece-Harrell-artist-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Feature-Artist_-Deneece-Harrell_103.JPG-Deneece-Harrell-artist-1024x945.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Feature-Artist_-Deneece-Harrell_103.JPG-Deneece-Harrell-artist-768x708.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Feature-Artist_-Deneece-Harrell_103.JPG-Deneece-Harrell-artist-810x747.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Feature-Artist_-Deneece-Harrell_103.JPG-Deneece-Harrell-artist-1140x1052.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-54157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deneece Harrell, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>She now lives and works in the North Carolina mountains where, as a child, she visited her grandparents. \u201cI am drawn to the layering and splitting forms of stone outcroppings, the interwoven veining in tree branches and leaves, the bright and undulating surface of the water as it flows over the rocks\u2014all of which finds its echo in my work,\u201d she says.
