Ursel Tramski

3. Ursel Tramski - POTS IN THE GAZEBO
Anagamais
One of the oldest methods of firing clay is the Japanese art of Anagama. Here the elements of earth and water are brought together with fire and wood, in a culmination of the potters art, to achieve a transformation of stunning beauty. Since the fifth century the tradition of Anagama firing has been part of the potters art and the distinctive colours that are the mark of Anagama are much prized by potters and collectors alike. The technique has spread from Japan, and today a small but dedicated body of woodfiring potters exist around the world. Many examples of their work can be seen in museums and collections, a testiment to a process that has not changed since its inception 1500 years ago.

Fascinated by the human body, she explores themes of human alienation, femininity, spiritualism and the inner life, the combination of bodily flesh and spiritual existence.
