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

There is also a nice little linguistic parapraxis - that kalima and 'clima' sound very similar. The hotter and dryer it gets in this part of the world, the more kalimas we will have, and the more people will migrate because of climate change. So I'm playing with a lot of ideas, historically, sociologically, and meteorologically. Which ultimately, speaks to the heart of the art of ceramics. Unlike when I was younger, I don't feel the same need to bring logic into this. #ceramics #pottery
