Year: 2021
Artist: Sara Miranda Icaza(@cántaro.alfarería) in conjunction with the Talavera workshop Tonanzintla, Puebla.
Material: Medium-temperature glazed earthenware (145 cm x 115 cm)
Each plate that integrates the piece is a unit in itself that represents the individual, with its own characteristics and identities. It is in the union and in the company of the different individualities that the community is integrated and the piece makes sense: it becomes an organic weave, the shadow of a bower full of possibilities and movement.
The image captured in the composition is based on a photograph of a plant of about 40 cm growing in a pot (Euphorbia tirucalli). When scaled it would look like the frond of a big tree. By modifying the scale of the objects I want to show how relative is the idea of big and small. In reality this appreciation, like all appreciations, is more about the size of the observer than about an intrinsic quality of the observed object.
