Meera has never found a state as grounded as when her fingers are messy, deep in the mud. For her, nothing quite vibrates with the gentle hum of life like clay does.
Many potters approach their wheel with intention to create, she approaches hers with intention to explore, to collaborate with the earth as each vessel forms into a new existence.
Each of these pieces was created in a process of exploration, of finding a state of natural being and connection, of becoming one with the earth.
