ARTIST BIO: ART HARRISON

ARTIST BIO

Barry is a Kentucky native, now residing in Michigan. By day he is the principal designerand co-founder of Art | Harrison Interiors and Art | Harrison Collection (a line of hand-made furniture produced by our studio). Barry enjoys creating these large sculptural “totems” as he calls them. It is a chance for him to work out new carving details for the furniture collection as well as expressing his individual creativity. Usually created in groups of 3, each grouping has a unique flavor and sensibility depending on a recent trip or experience that Barry may have had and enjoyed. The pieces are all carved from a solid block of wood and show lots of range in carving so as to create a very unique outline. The totems are then placed in custom made metal bases painted a matte black.
