Since 1980, Rina Menardi has been developing her research into the field of ceramics personalising work techniques, exploring colour schemes, striving for neatness of shape. Rina’s intent is that the object should not impose itself but, rather, suggest sensations, both visual and tactile able to evoke our deepest emotions.
Rina works the clay without ever feeling a ceramist: “Clay allows me to give a three-dimensional shape to the here-and-now me. It is a way of communicating with myself, and therefore with others. I simply strive to respect the natural surfacing of things that are already within us”.
