Praise of Ceramics

Initiative: Strosteeg Wall Art Foundation

Participating artists: Kees Agterberg, Anco van der Haar, Henk van der Haar, Ingmar Heytze, Tsjerk Holtrop, Gert de Rijk, Anna Smits

Sponsors: Municipality of Utrecht, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds, Rabobank Stimuleringsfonds, KF Heinfonds, Fentener van Vlissingen Fund, Elise Mathildse Fund, Mitros

The city is old, the world is older.

you are just a  breathing nod

to the stars: later, how much later

you never know, a shadow in the earth.

Wall-assemblies of clay

lying in some riverbed until

a hand took it, kneaded it, baked it,

froze the moment in an oven.

Vases – treasure keepers of emptiness,

dust mites, flowers in brackish water, two

handfuls of ashes. A place of Memories

in enamel: what is, what remains, what was.
