\u201cAt EKWC I took the freedom to pursue my studio practice in an unconstrained way, to experience what could unfold in the midst of this amply facilitated context. Although clay played a role in my practice early on, this was my first elaborate acquaintance with the ceramic process. Something that initially meant a case of adjustment.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as soon as I really began to understand the characteristics of clay, also regarding drying and firing; once I learned to respond to its workings, its own pace, its many possibilities, and many more limits, I was sold. It was like a loving, careful kind of engendering something completely earthy and natural, in which I could lose myself entirely at the same time.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore than with other techniques, the art turned out to lie in working through what clay needs as a material, what it is willing and able to do. Much less in terms of what I had in store with it. Until the clay and I really aligned, we achieved our first successes dancingly, and I was kindly requested, after three months of blissful courtship, to leave the building.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":62845,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"class_list":["post-33237","kunstenaar","type-kunstenaar","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","countries-the-netherlands","disciplines-visual-artist"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
