The void is very durable, it is fertile. Everywhere it breeds saws, daggers, sickles, breeds carnivorous teeth. That is why, wherever you look, there is dancing, jubilation, death is now giving birth to brand new children.

“Under the gaze of Clarice Lispector, every event hatches; the ordinary opens up and shows its treasure, which is, precisely, ordinary. And suddenly like a storm — of wind, of gunfire, of teeth: life arrives.”

Sonya Clark was born and raised in Washington, DC. Her parents had come to the United States from the Caribbean islands of Jamaica and Trinidad and were of West African ancestry. She remembers the important influences of her Jamaican grandmother, nicknamed “Chummy,” who was a professional tailor and taught her to sew, as well as of other relatives whose storytelling helped shape her identity. “When I sat between the knees of an aunt, mother, grandmother, or other woman who was doing my hair as a child, inevitably storytelling would begin. Those stories might be about how to behave or about family history. It seemed as if the stories themselves were being braided into my hair. My hair itself held the DNA of my forebears and that of the generations yet to come. And, as my hair was being done, I was absorbing the oral histories of my family.”

In Guadalajara, a Ceramic Tile Mural Mimics a Sun-Drenched Ecosystem, (all photos by New Forms Media, courtesy of Alex Proba)

Thousands of handmade ceramic tiles nest together like a puzzle on the facade of the Torre San Luis hotel in Guadalajara, Mexico. Abstract shapes evocative of a lush garden ecosystem burst across the outdoor wall in a collaboration between Alex Proba and the artisans of Cerámica Suro.

Titled “Shape of Movement,” the large-scale public work melds Proba’s organic visual language with a colour palette that reflects the local environment. Earthy neutrals, alongside dusty pinks and blues, mimic the sun-drenched landscape, while the dynamic forms appear as if they’re mid-motion.
