Now that I have gained some small proficiency at throwing on the wheel, I have been thinking conceptually, about what I would like to express with #ceramics I want to do something with the idea of uninvited arrivals. My father's side of the family are Sephardic Jews. They arrived here as migrants from Morocco during the Al-Andalus period.
There has always been great ambivalence about this period here. And yet, the impact of this period became part of what defines Andalucia. #Pottery

Similarly, while people tend to dread the arrival of the Kalima here, it literally colours the landscape, it colours the clay here. Andalucia would not be itself without Kalimas. I am really drawn to this as a metaphor for migration. Anyway, I'm rambling. #ceramics #pottery
