Her studies of classical forms across many global traditions--from Greek and Chinese to Aztec and African--are evident in her intimate, evocative shapes. Sequoia Miller sheds light on the colonial and material traditions that inform Odundo's ceramics, showing how the artist deftly blends cultural and ethnographic sources to give expression to the postcolonial experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis beautifully illustrated book discusses Odundo's innovative method and puts her ceramic forms into conversation with global contemporary art. This close examination allows for a careful look at the artist's works on paper--her prints and sketchbook drawings, published here in depth for the first time--demonstrating how they are a fundamental aspect of her creative practice. The book also features an in-depth Q\u0026amp;A with Odundo, in which she shares rare insights into her sense of self as an artist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith an incisive foreword by Susan Jefferies and illuminating contributions by Nehal El-Hadi, Elizabeth Harney, and Barbara Thompson, \u003ci\u003eMagdalene Odundo\u003c\/i\u003e provides new perspectives on an incomparable artist of our time, revealing the profound complexities of her work while deepening our understanding of modernism more broadly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Toronto\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSequoia Miller\u003c\/b\u003e is chief curator and deputy director at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art in Toronto.
