EXPRESSIONS THROUGH A MASK


"A charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld,
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled"

FIND THE SACRED IN THE ORDINARY

“The sacred is in the ordinary...it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's own backyard...travel may be a flight from confronting the scared--this lesson can be easily lost. To be looking elsewhere for miracles is to me a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous.”

REFLECTIVE PRACTICES

Reading, sitting quietly with myself and potting away at the wheel are the moments where I reflect and discover my deepest creativity. These practices inspire me!

FABULOUS FIGS & SHINY RED APPLES...

"A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy." Albert Einstein



Spending some time at our farm in Calitzdorp, I've been inspired to cook and explore some great recipes by Karen Dudley, Yotam Ottolenghi & Sami Tamimi. This has led me to a renewed interest in styling, making use of my ceramics with beautiful ingredients, and delighting the senses as I go.

OTTOLENGHI AND CLEMENTINA

I have spent the past two weeks on holiday and delighting in cooking from Yotam Ottolenghi's book Jerusalem which he co-wrote with Sami Tamimi. The food was so delicious, inspired me to continue making these fabulous dishes on my return...alas so far, all intentions have fallen by the wayside..!



However I was delighted this week to get a message from Africa Nova to say that Ottolenghi had been in their store and purchased a big bowl and some small cups of mine - wonderful coincidence!
