Debbie Harris - Art New Zealand Publication

Debbie Harris’ August exhibition Corpse Flowers and Chewing Gum has been lavishly reviewed by Maya Love in the most recent edition of the Art New Zealand magazine (Summer 2023-24).

Her words expressed:

"Despite the solidity of fired clay, Harris’ sculptures are pulsating with life. Conical towers of coiled clay sway with Seussian tufts sprouting from their tops. Pearly grape-sized bobbles fruit from the stem of another between crescent-shaped indentations and swarming spirals. Harris’ sculptures present as grotesque tiered cakes in ornate buttercream frosting, but we know they are dense and fragile. They are boundary creatures, ominously beautiful, luring us into a false sense of security." (Maya Love, 2023)
