Imagery from nature on Ceramics


“Imagery from nature on Ceramics” as the titles indicates involved a study of nature and natural forms and creating designs that are characterized by natural forms. A close observation of flowers, leaves, insects and animals and natural elements and periods like night, water, day-light, air, fire led to explorations with clay.
The underlying impetus for the project is somewhat similar to that of Art Nouveau Movement that arose as a response to the Industrial Revolution that often emphasized utility over aesthetics. The ease of access to diverse cultures in the 21st century makes it different from the period that gave birth to our times appears to be the unprecedented exploitation of nature and natural resources.
