A monograph of French artist Karen Swami’s ceramic work, profiling her chamotte sandstone clays from smoked, bare, Kintsugi, cobalt, Urushi lacquer, and galuchat glaze. With the underlaying concept of movement and life, to Swami, clay is a living thing: it must be watered, cared for, kneaded, and shaped. With the turning of the wheel, movement brings the clay to life, and then, in the uncertain atmosphere of the kiln, each piece is transmutable and living. Karen Swami: Ceramics in Motion explores the artist’s work, process, studio, inspirations, and details on clay types and finishes.
