The term ceramics might evoke for many an association with utilitarian and domestic items such as plates, vases and bowls. In recent years, however, ceramics have increasingly gained recognition as a contender in contemporary art. Indeed, clay, being highly malleable, can be shaped into the forms a potter imagines. This exhibition seeks to display such items of artistic consideration. Being the familiar material that ceramics are, which trace cultural expression around the world, this exhibition further seeks to represent a multiplicity of South African identities. Displayed in these ceramic works are elements of the traditional, socio-political, sombre, satirical, and playful.
