Bark & Bullion by Trevor Durr (porcelain and gold) (SOLD)

Trevor says, “The outdoors and the animals within them heavily inspire my pottery. As a wild-land firefighter, I travel to different forests around the United States and pull inspiration and imagery from them. My inspiration is not singular to just the local forest but also from all over, from the Redwoods and Giant Sequoias in California to the cacti through Arizona and New Mexico and the longleaf pines of Louisiana for example. Through imagery and textures, I try to give people a piece of where I’ve been and a small representation of the beauty and fragility of the forests I spend my life conserving.”

Trevor L. Durr was born in Baker City, Oregon. He received his Bachelor of Science in Art from Eastern Oregon University in 2014. Trevor works as a Wildland Firefighter year-round and makes pottery in his spare time.
