- Artist
- Lynn Turner, born Leavenworth, KS 1943
- Luce Center Label
- Lynn Turner's untitled teapot is composed of amalgamations of organic shapes. The multicolored handle and spout recall bamboo shoots, while the ridges on the vessel's body evoke that of a gourd. Turner’s sculptural forms are heavily influenced by ancient architecture, ritual vessels, and her sense of humor. The pastel purple, pink, and orange, along with the irregular placement of purple triangles, give the teapot a fantastical air.
