Finding Refuge: an artistic expression of home and belonging.

7/5-19/6/23

Clementina van der Walt is a well-known South African studio potter, based in Cape Town, who has in the past four decades lectured, run a production studio and held many one-person shows. Her work is represented in several South African national and international collections.

“My intention is to ‘seek the sacred in the ordinary’.

Making contemplative and utilitarian objects by hand is a necessary antidote to the 21st century’s information overload.

The ceramic discipline with cultural and historical links to rituals of everyday life encompasses society, religion and philosophy.

The archetypal significance of the home, as a point where our spiritual and earthy lives interconnect is where I have attempted to explore these ideas.

 My aesthetic inspiration is drawn from the patterns, colours, light and textures in the urban and natural African landscape. I am also inspired by European and American mid-century abstract painting and ceramics.

Applying techniques of press moulding, casting and throwing I use earthenware clays, slips and underglazes.”
