These are some images from the current exhibition at Kim Sacks Gallery in Johannesburg.
The exhibition is called 'Traversing' and features the work of Clementina van der Walt, Kim Sacks and Priscilla Mouritzen. 
At the opening this past Saturday we had a talk/walkabout. I spoke about the meaning of making ceramics and how this relates to one's world view. I also read a beautiful poem by Rainer Maria Rilke which I found poignant and appropriate...

A Walk
My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far ahead of the road I have begun.
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
it has inner light, even from a distance-

and charges us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a gesture waves us on
answering our own wave...
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.
