Tonight is the private view at manos for an exhibition of ceramics by Elisabeth Ottebring. It will be a curious, fantasy evoking display with Lisas beautiful work. Most of the pieces will be in the webshop on Monday next week.
Lisa has taken her inspiration from the compost and here’s her thinking behind the objects:
“life exist within the contrasts. it is when the black highfired earthenware clay with it’s coarse texture are given curvaceous forms and is delicately coloured by hand. it is when a summer feast is held among insects and moths, where bisquits made of honey are served from the blackest of urns, it is when the princess is a valkyrie with armpits full of hair. inspired by vivaldi, mr burton and mr greenway, elisabeth ottebring creates extravagant and playfull ceramics, that holds the uncertainty of life, it’s decay and vainglory. the direct feeling of the black highfired earthenware is translated and processed by hand, screened with old photographies or adorned with drawings. the creations set up an inviting world of playware where we are lured in to telling or own story of light and darkness, a story not entirely unlike life itself. “
Private view Wednesday 21st October 5-7 pm.
The exhibition is open until November 22nd. Thursday-Sunday 11-3 pm.
