From the earth to the earth.
The purpose is the art of making. The essence of the water on the clay(petrichor). The sparkling sound in the corner of the room after the baking. Understanding the elements of nature through the process of making them. As an artist, the process and the art of making is something she has always loved. The space and her works at Clarthware aim to translate that essence.
