INDRANI SINGH CASSIME

‘

‘Life’ inside-out inspires my work. All that I experience, sense and imagine takes shape into clay. Inmy current series the element of fire is contained in the womb of Mother Earth as well as in meteors from outer space. Clay and soil are from and returning to timeless rock and ash. Beautiful organic growth takes place from within, breaking old barriers and flowing out to the freedom of Satta-Chitta-Ananda (Truth-Consciousness-Bliss). The beautiful natural environment of Pondicherry and Auroville, my place of work and my home, continues to energize me to create good work. The ever-inspiring Golden Bridge Pottery has provided many like me a creative working atmosphere. Over the years Ray and Deb have become family and their undying love and enthusiasm continues to encourage me to fire on.

Born and educated in Delhi, I have travelled around the world to learn, absorb and share the best pottery and its best practises & techniques. Since twelve years, Pondicherry has been home to my numerous experiments with different kinds of clay and firing processes. In a beautiful way ottery has developed into the language of my soul to connect with the universe around me. Through the knowledge of pottery I have evolved and expressed my deepest inner self. I live to create beauty and feelings out of clay and this art sacrificed to the fire, gives rise to the Phoenix in me!
