SMAC Gallery in Stellenbosch is pleased to present Shaping Things, a group exhibition.

Shaping Things looks to the developing status of clay and ceramics in contemporary South African art.

Unsurprisingly, the relationship between clay and creation is one of the oldest relationships between material and the imagination. With the earliest known examples of the use of clay in ceremonial figurines dating back to 24 000 B.C., various cultures and societies have, over millennia, reached to what is perhaps the most accessible material, at first for functional reasons, and later, added the element of decoration and creative expression. Within the South African context, clay is perhaps most closely associated with traditional pottery, as demonstrated by the variety of vessels across different cultures. - Malibongwe Tyilo
