STUDIO POTTERY BY BONITA COHN 'ANAGAMA MAMA'
My
art is born, expressed in clay. Timeless, subtle, useful and beautiful.
In clay are my feelings; into the deep center I pull: it becomes a
bowl.
To make pottery is to give form to what I love.
Through my bare hands the body and soul meet; Spirit in a vessel,
tried by kiln fire.
A
collaboration of the four elements: earth, air, fire, water.
A woman that endures fire without harm: "Pyrosophical, Dragon identified woman:
Salamandrous, living as it were, in the fire, hot, passionate."
- Mary
Daly.
The kiln, the anagama is my temple.
