Marilza Gouvea- CERAMICS


Statement:

Having been trained as a psychologist and having an interest in anthropology and travel, I am inspired by ancient and simple societies, where everyday hand-made objects and architecture assume an importance in peoples lives.By travelling extensively in my own country and abroad as far as India, Japan and Thailand I am able to enrich and reassure these feelings. In my present work I try to express the importance of houses and buildings as places of power and spirituality. For they are 'Spirit Houses', an embodiment of the magic of life. I also try to express the idea of houses/ buildings as containers (pots) for people's lives, feelings and magic.
