la Dolce Vita
per 150 mani
(curato da Federica Preto)
1960: La Dolce Vita di F. Fellini
ciotola
LA DOLCE VITA, MARINA-MARINA-MARINA, FAUSTO COPPI (porcellana 40 cm
diamx16 cm, 30 cm diamx14 cm, 22 cm diam. x 12 cm)
La
storia di un paese è fatta di tanti eventi, grandi e piccoli che si
riflettono l’uno nell’altro, un’infinità di fili intrecciati a tessere
un maestoso tappeto. Questi fili sono la politica, la scienza, l’arte,
la musica, il cinema etc.
“Marina” venne scritta da un giovane italiano, Rocco Granata, figlio
di emigrati; il padre di Rocco Granata lavorava nelle miniere di Limburg
in Belgio (vicino alla frontiera olandese), come il padre di un altro
cantante di origini italiane (siciliane), Salvatore Adamo, le cui
canzoni ho conosciuto in seguito.
Una versione strepitosa di “Marina,” è stata suonata da André Rieu
(violonista olandese) e la sua orchestra. Lui rappresenta la canzone di
Marina in modo Felliniano, con tanta gioia ed teatralita’. Vorrei usare
lo stesso misto di eleganza, sensualità ed esuberanza nel mio progetto
per una ciotola di porcellana.
Come nel ‘tappeto’ della storia, in questo evento si intrecciano
tanti fili; una (ri)trovata gioia di vivere,un musicista emigrato,
l’intensità e sensualità della “Dolce Vita” di Fellini, una canzone
semplice e romantica, popolare, due artisti (un violonista e una
ceramista) olandesi, un po’ di saudade, una bicicletta (simbolo
olandese, legato a questa storia attraverso Fausto Coppi, quando il
giorno del suo funerale nel 1960, la radio italiana fece passare
“Marina, Marina, Marina…”, una delle sue canzoni preferite.
Una delle scene più famose della ‘La Dolce Vita’ è il bagno nella fontana di Trevi.
Ho cercato di ricreare il buio di quella notte, le onde dell’acqua, i
movimenti dei vestiti, tutta la gioia e melanconia presente in quel
momento.
Le ciotole sono decorate con onde blu scuro e con pezzi di seta
cangianti annodati sulla ‘pelle’ della porcellana….Intorno a la dolce
vita e in questo progetto legati ad essa si trovano ‘Marina, Marina’ e
‘Fausto Coppi

Grazie a Stefania Romanelli qui c'è una traduzione in italiano dal pezzo di Schnuppe von Gwinner (original post):
I lavori in porcellana di Margrieta Jeltema conducono questo materiale a superare definitivamente i suoi limiti. I soggetti nascono sulla base di modelli di carta, da cui si distanziano sempre più per diventare qualcosa di unico. Possono essere ciotole, ma anche fiori o una semplice mano. Le forme si intrecciano con significati e associazioni, le quali nascono in modo del tutto individuale da parte dell’osservatore - proprio dopo che lo stupore per la tenerezza venga sostituito dalla gioia della scoperta. Così sformata, sgualcita, sfrangiata la porcellana nega sé stessa. Simula flessibilità e morbidezza - e solo quando la si tocca questa illusione scompare. L’inganno dei sensi trova qui il suo apice, poetico ed ispiratore.

un Omaggio a Deruta
Detail from a bowl created as an homage to the great ceramic history of the city of Deruta. A Peacock Feather motive on a Deruta bowl from the sixteenth century (inspired by Persian designs) is proposed as paper-like porcelain.
The exhibition "un Omaggio a Deruta" will be at the "Centro d’Arte e Cultura Torre Strozzi", an ancient medieval structure from the thirteenth century in Parlesca, small village near Perugia (Italy).
From 9 May until 9 June 2010.

about my work
Schnuppe Von Gwinner wrote about my work:
Margrieta Jeltema's Werke aus Porzellan führen das Material definitiv an seine Grenzen. Die Objekte entstehen in Anlehnung an Papiermodelle, von denen sie sie sich immer mehr entfernen um etwas ganz Eigenes zu werden. Sie können Schalen sein, aber auch Blüten oder eine hohle Hand. Formen verweben sich mit Bedeutungen und Assoziationen, die ganz individuell beim Betrachter entstehen - gleich nachdem das Erstaunen über die Zartheit von wahrer Entdeckerfreude abgelöst wird. So ausgebeult, zerknittert, ausgefranst leugnet sich das Porzellan. Es täuscht Flexibilität und Weichheit vor - erst wenn man es berührt verschwindet diese Illusion. Das Vexierspiel findet hier seinen Höhepunkt, poetisch und inpirierend.

pinched bowls
Bowls made from stoneware.
As I often use stoneware to make the forms in wich I fire my larger porcelain bowls, that would slump otherwise, sometimes I like to transform it into forms that stand on their own...; like these three bowls. They have a paperlike pattern on the outside and a velvet light-turquoise glaze within.h. 5 cm. - 17 cm.

some inspirations
Dreaming of spring..or just wanting to make pictures,
while everything outside is grey and misty and cold...?
I tried to capture the soft silken texture of the petals..
a soft shine I could wish as a porcelain glaze...
Usually I put my pictures here or here,
but it is nice to mix everything up sometimes
I'm always curious to see new results,
new possibilities; and then,
sometimes unexpectedly,
patterns emerge!

'lanterns'; a necklace..or 'just' lanterns?
As there is now, since some time, also a site
where my ceramic work is shown, this blog is
quietly changing ; a place to post not only my
ceramic works, but something more of my
world; my inspirations and daily found
poetry; like these images of the most exquisite
little lanterns I found in my garden...

cushion brooch
Without my kiln, for a while, finally I mounted some of the smaller pieces, that I keep 'collecting'; my trials and errors and my color- and form tests, these test pieces somehow manage to start a life of their own as jewelery pieces or sometimes as little animals. Maybe because I find it really difficult to throw anything away.. (one never knows if they could turn into something...) and because these small scale trials inspire and keep me going... If they turn out interesting, I try to find out other possibilities. The cushions brooches I have been making for a while, have three layers of thin porcelain, the bottom layers are closed, so in baking they 'rise' nicely!. (I just made an appletart for Sanne's birthday, so this phrase is in style..) and the third layer has holes for the 'pins' and pearls and the stitching.
