By the 8th century BC, Greek pottery began depicting narratives of daily life, personal stories, and heroic deeds. When I discovered this beautiful print, it reminded me of the many stories that are woven into a woman’s life, much like the space within these amphorae and jars. Clorinda, a woman who once hid inside a large Chinese vase to escape harassment, is a story I first heard in Lima, and it has always fascinated me. In this piece, I embody her, surrounded by countless ceramic jars, as if I were to become one myself.
Cecilia Paredes_____
"Au VIIIème siècle av. J.-C., les motifs des poteries grecques s'inspiraient des scènes de vie quotidiennes, d'histoires personnelles ou héroïques, ou encore, d'actes remarquables. Lorsque j'ai trouvé cet imprimé, cela m'a rappelé les nombreuses histoires qui composent la vie d'une femme, et notamment l'histoire de Clorinda, une femme qui dût se cacher dans une large jarre pour échapper au harcèlement de la foule."
