HOW TO BE A STORYTELLER IN PEACE TIME
Glazed stoneware.45x30x30cm
2021
This stoneware “chess” table stands above 40cm from the ground, directing people to kneel or sit next to it. It is maybe not really a chess game since its playing pieces are not representative of the ones actually used in chess.
Instead, they have abstract shapes that can provoke some sense of resemblance with anything the player has experienced, providing a chance for people to tell stories to each other using these tools while at the same time overcoming the feeling of uneasiness that the sound of clanking ceramics provokes.
