“What concerns me is to pay attention to the unseen 'insignificant' and uneventful”
Theoretical and attitudinal changes towards ceramic discourse and practice , brought about changes on how I view my materials. Thus, clay,glaze,air,water, and fire,from materials which co-existed in the production of a ceramic object, became separate entities, each one with its own character, qualities and language. Co-existence was of no importance. This 'new' Ceramics language code, released other aesthetic events, gestural acts and conceptual and experimentational realizations or proposals.
The work
1.”PROTO-PAINTINGS”
Gestural imprints of clay, metal oxides, water and fire on paper, plywood and ceramic fiber paper which I consider a paradigm for/of ceramic paintings
2.VARIOUS OBJECTS /SCULPTURES, INSTALLATIONS ,PERFORMANCES , PUBLIC INTERVENTIONS which lie between the ephemeral and the uneventful .
