Concentrically Layered Ceramic Sculptures and Vessels by Matthew Chambers.
When stopping to consider these masterful ceramic objects by artist by Matthew Chambers, a flood of familiar images came to mind as I tried to understand what I was looking at.
The aperture of a camera, the protective shell of a curled up armadillo, ocean waves, bowls of pasta, or portals to other dimensions; all valid reactions to these hand-built ceramic vessels and sculptures that contain dozens of thin concentric layers. For the last 8 years Chambers has been working from a 215 square foot studio in Newport on the Isle of Wight where he creates each piece without the aid of sketches or designs, preferring to experiment as he works. Each “layer” is an individual section thrown on a potter’s wheel which he then assembles with other layers to make a solid sculpture. How something so precisely geometric can be formed from clay by hand is nothing short of astounding. Chambers most recently had work at New Craftsman Gallery.

Amanti Di Valdaro by adelmo. Lovers of Valdaro. The so-called Lovers of Valdaro, also dubbed as the "Valdaro Lovers," are a pair of human skeletons dating back 6,000 years[1] discovered by archaeologists at a Neolithic tomb in S.Giorgio near Mantova, Italy, in 2007.[2][3] The two skeletons appear to have died or were interred facing each other with arms around each other, thus reminiscent of a "lovers' embrace".
Archaeologist Elena Maria Menotti led the excavation.[4] Scientists believe that the pair is a man and woman no older than 20 years old and approximately 5'2" (157 cm) in height. They were removed from the ground intact and sent to Musei Civici in Como where they are undergoing analysis.
