\nAs the artist herself states, sixty years ago she got acquainted with ceramics and she, almost immediately, appointed clay as her everlasting companion in a relationship which proved to be the rock and foundation of her whole life. Talking about her life\u2019s work, she points out: \u201cLooking at the different periods of my work, one can distinguish references to mythology, both Greek and personal, as well as the abuse of nature and the loneliness of the human being in today\u2019s society, interpreted through different techniques and materials which accordingly interpret my own visions.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

\nWhat triggered Maro Kerasioti\u2019s new creative endeavor are two little bones. As she explains: \u201cMy present work, re-formations, started after an Easter feast, when I found myself admiring the form of a very small, yet perfectly shaped, little bone. Some months later, during a lonely stroll at the deserted beach of Marathon, I found a drifting bone equally interesting as the first one, and I felt tempted to analyze its proportions and forms, its bulks and voids and create a sculpture inspired by such a gift from mother nature. The bones I used as models – remnants of the transition of life to the afterlife – allowed me, during their re-formation, to imagine and even invent stories on their origin, to rend them imaginary past bodies in order to modify their shapes according to my visions, art and technique. I will not succumb to the temptation of analyzing my own work aesthetically, since I believe it would have a disempowering effect. It is my opinion that this is a task for the connoisseurs.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
