Cyclical art with clay in transformation From a lump of clay, ceramist Regula Kaeser- Bonanomi has sculpted an iconic memento mori that celebrates not death, but life. With words and images, she invites us to witness the creation and dissolution of a work of art throughout the four seasons. It means more than it depicts: Her "Barke pallia," crafted from a single piece of Mother Earth, is a symbol of the cyclical effects and invisible transformations in nature. Through her medium, clay, the artist reveals the unforeseen possibilities cyclical forces bring to everyday life.
