Of Clay
2023
Of Clay explores clay and landscape as a keyhole through which creation myths can be examined and reinterpreted. Inspired by ancient visual culture, geology, and pottery, these images offer a photographic experience that investigates the earth itself as life-giving matter.
The artist book, Of Clay, intertwines poetry with images. The language in the poem is sourced from mythological texts from around the world that reference clay as a creation material.
