That is the working title of a series of ceramic works by the Indian artist Indira Johnsson, exhibited throughout July at Galerie S:t Petri in Lund.Indira Johnsson came to Lund two years ago. She studied at the Sir J.J. Institute of Applied Art in Bombay and at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago.She says about her ceramics: “The People Pots,” I believe, are a direct result of my drawings. I have used the linear quality of the drawings and reworked it into a three-dimensional form.Naturally, “The People Pots” reflect my Indian background, but their ethnic value lies more in the fact that they portray the Indian people than in their design being Indian.— I prefer to see them as having a more universal aspect. Most of the figures in “The People Pots” are women, perhaps precisely because they play such a complex role in Indian society today — both dominant and dominated.The exhibition opens today and runs until August 14.Open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 12–5 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m.–12 noon. — — — Indian Lund Resident ExhibitsAt Galerie S:t Petri in Lund, Indira Johnson from India is exhibiting ceramic works titled “The People Pots” and paintings.Indira Johnson, who came to Lund in 1970, has studied in Bombay and Chicago. About her ceramics, she says:— “The People Pots” are, I believe, a direct result of my drawings. I have used the linear quality of the drawings and reworked it into a three-dimensional form. Naturally, “The People Pots” reflect my Indian background, but their ethnic value lies rather in the fact that they portray the Indian people than in their design being Indian. I would like them to be given a more universal aspect. — —
