Quotes

  • "I’ve always equated clay with the humanity that’s within us, fragile like our bodies. It can tip over. You have it on its toes, but if you push just slightly on the wrong pivot, it will break your heart."
  • “There was something so soulless about it. For me, there wasn’t a justifiable rationale in advertising the merits of one soap against another.”
  • “The aim was to learn the skills I needed to go back to Kenya and maybe go into advertising, which was a growing business at the time.”
  • "...of all making mediums, clay is the most versatile and pliable and naturally earthly, sympathetic and human."
