Axum November 2020 (2021)
Axum figures commemorate hundreds of innocent civilians killed in Ethiopia.
The figures of mothers, young children and young adults are made in black groggy clay. They stand together, as if interacting and supporting each other in procession around Church of our Lady Mary of Zion.
The clay has an earthy, rough quality. The figures are unglazed, there is no decoration apart from slightly detectable finger marks left by when pressing the clay.
