From the Editors Montessa Maack & Alison Smiles:
Often when we discover a story behind a favourite artwork, it provides a conduit between us and the person or people behind the object. In this issue we have stories of resilience, travel, career achievements, and inquiry into the complex layered existence of clay in the material human world, as well as instances of the past reaching us here in the present.
In bringing this issue together alongside all our contributors and considering the presence of story, things seem to move in ellipses – we set out, we return to things, and we start out anew. Sometimes things repeat, but not quite exactly. Slowly knowledge is built through time and between us all.
We will continue to develop through the year from this thoughtful starting point of INDUSTRY & STORY. As always, we would love to hear what you are thinking.
