Geraldine Gventer

The sculptures are like stage sets in which various themes can be expressed. The clay is like a piece of slate where my impressions of events and feelings are inscribed. Through the manipulation of the clay my unconscious thoughts escape in response to past and present experiences

The Pre-Columbian, Mayan and African cultures have greatly influenced my work because of their depiction of the politics and values of the time through spiritual and mythological themes

The use of geometry of organic forms to depict human characteristics in these cultures have inspired my sculptures and have given me a vehicle to express universal emotions.
