DescriptionDescription: On 14 December 2016, the ceramicist Mårten Medbo was the first in Sweden to attain a PhD in Crafts. The title of his thesis, Lerbaserad erfarenhet och språklighet (Clay-Based Experience and Language-Ness), can be seen as a mission statement for Medbo’s study – can we say different things with clay and words? His process involved trying different techniques and styles. This sculpture was included in his research and in the exhibition Slutkommentar (Endnote) at Galleri Thomassen in Gothenburg in June 2016.
