Artwork title : Axum November 2020

Grouping of 60 ceramic figures representing civilians killed in Axum (Ethiopia) during November 2020.

The work is made in black groggy clay. The figures have long necks, small heads, bodies as if dressed in long tunics with suggestion of movement. The clay has an earthy, rough quality with grogg coming though. The figures are unglazed, there is no decoration apart from slightly detectable finger marks left by when pressing the clay. Stoneware. The figures range from 10cm to 32cm high.
