Tool Box, 1982
Porcelain Sculpture, 13" x 6" x 6"
Laura Peery was born in Washington, D.C in 1952 and received her M.F.A. from George Washington University. Peery never intended to specialize in creating teapots, but as her work evolved, she focused her creativity into this iconic artifact. She originally wanted her designs to be functional interpretations. However, she soon realized that to truly embrace her art, she must ignore utilitarian aspects such as the spout and lid. Laura has participated in multiple group and solo exhibitions throughout the United States, and has her work included in the collections of Northeastern University, Massachusetts, Kamm Teapot Collection, Florida, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.
