Clay Diaries – Three Vases for Tragedy
This project links pottery and digital archives as practices of memory to complement the ephemerality of the physical performances of tragedy. “Clay Diaries” engages with the digital ReTAGS archive through clay and creates a physical, tangible offering in the form of three vases for tragedy which are is also available in digital form in an interactive format. Drawing on the ReTAGS digital repository as well as personal experiences of the performances Antigone [not quite/quiet] and Oedipus At Colonus – After Sophocles, the three vases for tragedy feature scenes from all three ReTAGS performances, including iKrele leChiza …the sermon and offer contemplations on the art of pottery as storytelling and clay as teller of stories.
