トームさんのインスタグラム写真 - (トームInstagram)「After collecting their work for some time, this November we visited the home and workshop of Grand Maestro of Mexico, #JoséGarcíaAntonio, also known as the #blindpotter @taller_manos_que_ven Losing his sight to glaucoma when he was 55 (he is now 73), he continues to sculpt sensual and evocative figures from the local barro (clay). He was married to his beloved wife, Santa Teresita Mendoza Reyna Sanchez, in 1987. The couple work in tandem and she and his sons complete the details on the pieces he still moulds daily . Their workshop in San Antonino includes the ceramic pieces made by family members: Santa Reyna Teresita, José Miguel, Sara Ernestina, Reyna Esther, and son-in-law Jose Luis Reyes Martinez. He has passed his art on his children who work in the family compound alongside him. Students from local schools often come to the workshop for demonstrations and hands-on sessions. Her face and body are etched in his memory and continue to provide a model for many of his female figures. Their obsession is #Zapotec people and mermaids / mermen...always imbued with humor and a real sexiness. “It would seem that the hearts of the potters of Oaxaca are made of clay. Their emotions, intuitions, joys, fears and fantasies flow through their bloodstream until arriving at the hands which knead the clay and, as if by magic, transform it into exquisite ceramic sculptures.” (quoted from “The Great Masters of Mexican Folk Art.”)」12月12日 7時07分
