EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the art of pottery in a kiln before firing, capturing the essence of Tunisia's rich cultural heritage. The image transports us to the village of Moknine near Sousse, where skilled artisans meticulously prepare their creations for the transformative process. The pots, stacked upside down with precision and care, create an intriguing visual composition against the backdrop of the kiln's fiery interior. The choice to stack them this way is not only practical but also symbolic; it represents a moment of anticipation and preparation before these vessels are reborn through fire. The day is bright outside as sunlight bathes this outdoor workspace, illuminating every detail of each pot. Their varied shapes and sizes hint at their future purpose - from homeware to vases or even urns - showcasing both functionality and artistic expression. Tunisia's unique location on Africa's northern coast infuses its pottery with distinctive colors and patterns that reflect its diverse cultural influences. This particular piece captures those vibrant hues beautifully, adding depth and character to each object within the kiln. Photographer CM Dixon skillfully captures this scene, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also providing insight into Tunisian traditions passed down through generations. Through his lens, we witness a moment frozen in time – one that celebrates creativity, skillful technique, and reverence for ancient craftmanship.
