Rina Menardi has been developing her research into the field of ceramics since 1980 personalizing work techniques, exploring colour schemes, striving for neatness of shape. 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”.
