CLAY AND SOUND by Jennifer Lucy Allan
5x A5 zines, 9x risograph prints, 8x handcut cards, Comes in screen printed archive folder, 2024
Writing a book about clay and ceramics, I kept running into sound. I was looking for material objects, but found sounds, musicians, composers among the pots. For a while, it seemed ceramics were ringing everywhere I went, metaphorically speaking, in silent reading rooms and hushed galleries, but also in factories, studios and palaces. Instead of quieting the noise, I listened in.
Includes five zines with Jennifer interviewing artists and musicians who work with ceramics in their practice. Interviewees include:
– artist Keith Harrison
– ghatam player Prathap Ramachandra
– Bristol music duo Copper Sounds
– sound artist Gemma Luz Bosch
– musician Tomoko Sauvage
Also included are:
– Nine risographed images of historical clay instruments
– Eight fragments featuring anecdotes, memories, encounters and quotes, by Tori Kudo, MC Richards, Michael Cardew & others.
