Material That Got Civilised

2025, site-specific installation, ceramics
‘Bazar Bizarre. Soil / Water’ – Jemiołowa Market, Wrocław

The raw material for making ceramics is extracted from the soil. Mixing clay with water allows it to be shaped. The process of setting this material involves taking the life out of the water, usually in order to subsequently keep the water in check.
