Arú
"Arú" by Joana Vasconcelos merges the celebrated faience tradition of Portuguese ceramicist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro with the artist's signature use of handmade cotton crochet mesh, creating a striking dialogue between historical craft and contemporary textile practice. The work exemplifies Vasconcelos' ongoing exploration of feminine labor and decorative art, enveloping the richly glazed ceramic forms in an intricate handcrafted web that blurs the boundaries between fine art and domestic handicraft.
