‘I am obsessional - I do nothing but pots. Large pots, very large pots, small pots and pots that in range in between,’ Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye told Alistair McAlpine when he interviewed her for Cornucopia in Paris in 2002. New work by Turkey’s celebrated ceramicist continue in this vain, and the deep dark blues reflect another passion of the potter: the sea – ‘My whole life has been a love affair with the sea.’ McAlpine’s peaon to the artist, with photographs by Jean-Marie del Moral, can be read in Cornucopia 27.
