CLAY<\/strong>


El Vergel garden takes place in an art and ceramics studio.
This place inspires us to start an exploration with clay as a medium.

Exploring and observing the colourful barbotine, we notice how clay invites us to leave a trace of our presence. We enter into dialogue and connect with the absences, making these encounters between ourselves and the mud intimate. Together we build memories.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We explore multiple shapes with clay, paying attention to its ability to transform. Through these explorations and transformations–almost intuitively– our hands shape small holes into the clay creating a collection of tiny vessels.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Container of Memories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Clay’s unique malleability brings us closer to histories; as we press, poke and bend, clay becomes a container of our stories.<\/p>\n\n\n

As we think of \u200b\u200bthe vessel as a container and creator of stories, we create memories. What does a vessel tell us?
What are its languages?<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
