TIME HEALS OLD WOUNDS is a ceramic installation that comments on the ritual practices found in contemporary Greek culture as a form of belonging. This research stems from family narrative and personal experiences experienced through Greek/Australian transnational identity.
The body of work aims to establish a profound connection between past and present through the cultural wisdom from Greek ancestry. The aphorism Time Heals Old Wounds is a way to tell personal family narratives. Investigation into Ancient Greek traditional forms such as amphoras and votive figurines informs dynamic hand built figurative sculpture.
