Earth Mother - Roots

Amy Wilson (2021)

This collection was my first since becoming a mother. It was an ode to my savta (grandma in Hebrew), and to my roots.

The bottles are inspired by my savta’s own pots, with their form and illustration panels, my hands followed her hands in making them.

The painted terracotta bowls speak of objects common to most of the lands of my foremothers, with no tethering in their designs to a particular place or culture. Diasporic, and firmly planted in the earth. 

The four object groupings here on display are vignettes, meant to evoke feeling, to allude to mystical tales.
