My beautiful Armenia – Hayastan
Leigh Anderton-Hall
Opening: December 6 5:30 pm
Viewing: December 6, 2023 until December 22, 2023
In the vibrant tapestry of Hayastan, Graham and I immersed ourselves in a two-week exploration during September 2023, centered around the Yerevan Print Biennale in Armenia’s capital city, Yerevan.
My ceramic sculptures, born from this immersive experience, are a testament to the shapes and patterns imprinted on my consciousness by the temples, churches, subways, manholes, and gates of Yerevan. The clay becomes a canvas for exploring the intersection of people, war, and land – themes that, although geographically distant, are intimately connected to the heart of Armenia.
