On the banks of the Mono River, the hands of the women of Agomé-Glozou transform silt into eternity. This ancestral pottery, shaped without a wheel, keeps the trace of the thumb and the wind. Conservation jars and ritual canaries are the fruit of open-air firing, a dance with fire that gives the clay its ochre highlights and legendary robustness.
The Texture of the Gesture
Baked earth, mineral roughness.
