    Footnote
    ‘Attracted to something that is almost a kind of electricity of electricity in how pliable the body can be. Thus with plastic, malleable clay, which, while it is capable of being shaped to capture that mesmerizing, hypnotic achievement, the pot ends up in a motionless state. This is what I try to capture.’ Magdalene Odundo
