Here’s a new book published by Anvil Press called “Transitions of a Still Life: The Ceramic Work of Tam Irving” which was written by Carol E. Mayer.
Here’s a quote from the Anvil Press Website:
“Transitions is a beautifully illustrated book examining the works of ceramic artist Tam Irving as a unique cultural activity: one that combines both art and science to express the subtle content and sensuous tactility of vessel and sculpture. Irving has lived in British Columbia for the past 50 years, and during this time, he has been at the heart of the changing social, political, and cultural relationships that have informed the development of studio ceramics in this province. The core of Tam Irving: Reflections is about recording excellence and providing a stimulating legacy document for future scholars, artists, and researchers. It will recognize the contributions that Irving has made to the development of the ceramic medium within the province and to the larger Canadian and international ceramic community.”
