‘The Earth is a record of life but one with many secrets. Ceramic vessels are created like the Earth, under conditions of very intense heat and sometimes, rather violent chemical reactions. Some glazes are very little different from volcanic eruptions, some give the effect of having suffered the impact of molten tidal waves, some seem to project an after image normally associated with the implosion…just like real life.’
‘Life is after all, created anew at each moment we recognize or experience it. Natural reality, it turns out, is a no-nonsense, but magical kind of time/space. I’d like to see, not only the magic, but the experience of discovering that magic transmitted through the fish bowls'... Jim Thomson as quoted by Janis Runge
