New Ceramics out of Brunei Darussalam: Dr Geiger-Ho's Reconstructed Landscapes
This was a studio-based exhibition of ceramic sculptures made from local clay found on the UBD campus and nearby Berakas Beach Recreational Park. The exhibition was intended to be a teaching model for Dr Geiger-Ho's ceramics and sculpture students, as it used her pottery and also a special teaching display in order to introduce the concept of using found clay rather than processed clay. |

The left tray shows raw clay and materials for making pottery. They were all gathered on campus or from Berakas Beach. |
This may look like a dry river bed. However, in fact it is dried clay that has been processed for use in the studio for the production of pottery. |
The right tray holds an array of experimentation materials. Without carefully planned and controlled experimentation, a ceramic artist cannot predict the outcome of the chemical interactions of the clay with the other materials. |
