PATTERNS IN PORCELAIN 1999
An extended series of serving pieces inspired by African baskets and a continued meditation on the impact of living in Zimbabwe. Slabs of wet porcelain are shaped over handmade baskets. Pressing the clay onto the basket form gives it the texture. As my paint brush draws ceramic stains through the patterns… my mind is in Africa The patterns of nature: Textures, Details, Smells, Sounds, Colors. Weaving a timeless gesture of gratitude for the richness of the Great Continent. |
