sw.e.et 16 (swop.edit.et 16)

The idea of placing pebbles upon personal letters (those usually written to the deceased) has its origins at the graves of the Jewish community. Most often these letters disintegrate, leaving only the pebble behind.

I chose to take this theme, and together with my own personal iconography, draw upon imagery from my drawings and local news media and, using these images in both print and Raku firing, create my own iconographic reality.

The title "sw.e.et 16 I include 16 individual containers on which I layer the borrowed and interpreted bits and pieces of current news. The imagery and wording have been taken here and there, indicative of our fragmented world, allowing the viewer free interpretation.
