After having traveled the world, After having worked in the fashion world CC fell in the mud Better said, fell in the CLAY For more then ten years now She has been working Red clay, black clay, white clay Unglazed or smoked earthenware. CC took her inspiration. From the pottery of the world. She investigated and studied Shapes of vessels of potters From Africa and the Americas. She learned the primitive techniques Used in the first creations on this Planet: hand coiling. Coil hand building became Her trade. Placing rolled coils on top of one Another pressing them into a wall, Polishing them to built a piece, Unique non uniform shape. Vessels from the past that fed the present. As CC walked through the Metropolitan Museum in New York a few years ago, She discovered The Nagada pottery, Dating from 3.000 years B.C called Black Top. This discovery was the beginning of what you can see Today, here in this show.
