Browse a unique collection of handmade ceramics from the Dancing on Strings series. Artist Robert Botchway transforms clay into a tactile canvas of cultural heritage, carving rhythmic patterns influenced by Ghanaian Highlife Music, Ankara textiles, and Adinkra symbolism.

"years of making music taught me that rhythm can carry emotion long before words ever do. I’ve also learned that visibility is not always the same as being understood. My ceramic practice grows from that space. influenced by Ghanaian highlife music, Ankara textiles, and Adinkra symbolism, I carve rhythmic patterns into clay as a way of holding memory, identity, and emotion in physical form. these pieces are a part of my on going serious called Dancing on Strings." — Robert Botchway
