Earth Spell, a ceramics exhibition by Chonburi native, Panchalie Sathirasas is showing from now until November 24 at the Pridi Banomyong Institute on Sukhumvit 55, Bangkok. There are places where the waters have carved out a landscape of mountain, rock, and rugged islets. Wind and rain over countless seasons have weathered the outlines to a strange beauty that is at once mysterious, serene, and remote. The scene leads to a wisdom, which gives balance to life and instills the mind with a sense of peace and calm. The artist, too, fashions the surfaces of the pieces she creates to suggest the quiet beauty of such scenery. The one who handles and uses them earns a wisdom, which leads to harmony with nature. Earth Spell is open daily from 10 a.m. till 8 p.m.
