Cover with 11 loose booklets

Dry, unfired leftover clay and waste containers filled with glaze –how can this be material for reflexion? In short, reflective and accessible texts spanning the fields of systematics and poetics Katrine Køster Holst writes about various aspects of her artistic work: use of materials, work processes, education and training, inspirations and coincidences. Through clay, thought- provoking connections between people, landscape and nature are formed.

The texts have been translated from norwegian to english by Christine O´Hagan
