White & Gold Vessel - No 137
This sculptural vessel from Beverly Morrison’s White & Gold Collection embodies the meeting of restraint and expression—an exploration of form, gesture, and elemental beauty. With its elegant silhouette and nuanced interplay of texture and light, the piece reveals the traces of movement that give it its distinctive rhythm. The layered white surface, shaped by hand, holds both energy and calm, creating a landscape of motion stilled in form.
Across this terrain, gestural gold glaze flows like molten light, pooling and tapering in unpredictable paths. The contrast between white clay and gold accent is not decorative, but meditative—an echo of impermanence and the fleeting nature of perfection. The gold acts as a visual current, enhancing the depth and texture beneath, while the underlying clay remains visible, grounding the piece in its earthen origin.
The vessel stands as both a sculptural statement and a contemplative presence, reflecting Morrison’s vision of Modern-Day Relics—objects designed to inspire reflection and harmony within contemporary spaces while honoring the timeless materiality of clay.
