Marcio Mattos -CERAMICS
Statement:
Being a musician as well as a potter, I bring into my ceramic work the
same creative process which lies behind Improvisation in music: the spontaneity
and intuitive ‘free-ness’ of the moment of creation. I like to leave impressed
in clay the immediacy of this process, both in texture and in form.The
vessel, as an object which gives form to an empty space, serves as the
starting point for ideas. Nature, especially geological marks, and ancient
man-made artefacts transformed by the passing of time are constant sources
of inspiration.
