”Clay, bronze and glass; materials that form an intimate part of human history and development, come together in this exhibition based on texture, materials and earth colours.
The mark of a potter’s thumb in a 5000 year old bowl started a process of exploration based on the malleability and amazing sensuality of wet clay. Taking advantage of the expressiveness of clay, the traditional method of wedging (kneading) clay, became a starting point and inspiration.
The meditative, rhythmic kneading of clay creates a spiral pattern adding elements of immediacy and spontaneity, while also making a connection with generations of past potters." Annika Berglund, June 2014.
