Poetic reflections of a ceramist artist
This new book features original texts, poems, and artworks by Paola Masi
” I woke
And found I was dreaming
Died
And discovered living
I cried
And healed
A wound so old
A bed of thorns
I,
No more.”
Reflections is a collection of ideas and notes that, from the last 20 years of my artistic journey, trace the cadence and rhythm, the valleys and peaks of a wandering that is nomadic and without a destination, except for that of following the spirit that calls it at every step and in every place.
Amid reflections of light and shadows, I have gathered here the cardinal points of this wandering of mine that is tied, like great journeys and pilgrimages, to the visible and invisible elements of nature. To the winds of the soul that push us beyond, to the brown earth beneath our feet and in our hands.
To deserts and green valleys, to forests up to the peaks. To the rivers and seas, which carve the landscapes, the curves, and the recesses of our blue planet. It is an ode to planet Earth and the stars, the alchemical journey of ceramics: it is the spirit that reveals itself through matter and transforms it.
The breath of the soul, art: a journey of return home.
