Item Description
Acrylic, 11x14 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
(This piece pairs well with 'Upside-Down Mugs')
Ceramics in Mexico date back thousands of years, when ceramic arts and pottery crafts developed with the first advanced civilizations and cultures of Mesoamerica.
Almost every region of Mexico has a unique style of ceramic dish, made from the clay and organic materials that are available in the region. Some areas specialize in brown clay, others in white. Some areas burnish their clay work, others glaze it, others hand paint and glaze. Some regions are famous for a certain color combination, while others leave their ceramics in the natural color of the clay.
Artist's Note:
The vision of stacks and stacks of bowls in a Mexican market is so appealing to me. Since they are handmade, even similar patterns vary to some degree, adding to the allure of the vibrant designs.
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
While indigenous crafts from Mexico and Central America are cherished, asylum-seekers do not receive the same welcome. Minorities and indigenous peoples are often excluded from participation in socioeconomic life, and rarely have access to political power. These challenges are multiplied during forced displacement. Hearts & Homes for Refugees counters this by welcoming all who seek refuge, irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or religion.
