Materials and technique

Pigments, fibers, and clays preserved in practice

The collections draw on natural pigments, plant and animal fibers, and locally worked clays. Techniques such as hand carving, weaving, and kiln firing are kept close to their original methods, so the surface of each piece records how it was made.

Looking closely at a surface reveals the choices behind it: how a pigment was ground, how a warp was tensioned, how a clay body was shaped. These details are the common thread linking paintings and handicrafts across the portfolio.
