Nüwa (The Goddess)

"During my residency at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel I started to create collages and ink paintings connected to the Chinese mythology. As the goddess, NÜWA created the mankind in the yellow clay, I found that my later ceramic sculptured figures also were created in yellow clay, and I continued in a conscience way to make ”NUWAS CHILDREN”. I wrote two poems and the ink painting (the Swatch Art Peace Hotel trace) is a central piece in this project. It will be published in the novel ”Fish in the sky – a story about love, art and broken porcelain (Ordfront 2024)." (Torsten Jurell, 2023)
