'La Novia' is a clay vessel inspired by Frederico Garcia Lorca’s Blood Wedding.
Part of a series of animated vessels, it is a gestural form that evokes an enduring female dilemma, prevalent in the Middle East and Mediterranean basin, between traditional societal dictates and constraints, and self-realisation.
Formed from coils, draped with dry glazes and print work with a hint of gold adornment, it suggests an ancient fertility figurine reaching contemporary plenitude with firmness and grace.
