Description
Magdalene Odundo: A Dialogue with Objects explores the postcolonial experience through the work of acclaimed ceramicist Magdalene Odundo. Her unique blend of classical forms from global traditions is evident in her intimate, evocative shapes. Sequoia Miller sheds light on the colonial and material traditions that inform Odundo's ceramics, revealing how she deftly combines cultural and ethnographic sources to express the postcolonial experience. This book features a close examination of Odundo's innovative method, as well as her prints and sketchbook drawings, published here in depth for the first time. The book includes an in-depth Q&A with Magdalene Odundo, offering rare insights into her artistic practice, as well as contributions from experts such as Susan Jefferies, Nehal El-Hadi, Elizabeth Harney, and Barbara Thompson.
