Guniang
white clay, clear glaze, fired to 1100°C 70 cm tall I spent time in Jingdezhen in 2009. Instructive, expansive and humbling, China continues its dominance in ceramics through 10,000 years of evolution. Continuing into modern times, rebirth is not applicable. Clay art and technology is intrinsic, seemingly genetically programmed into its children.

Identifying with the place where I live, the hooting of owls could be the most poignant of night sounds that I will protect with all in my power.
