Editors' Note
This piece is named for Kenyan-born ceramicist Magdalene Odundo, who was born in Nairobi and educated in Kenya, India, Nigeria, England and Mexico. Fielding a truly stunning body of work, Odundo is best known for her reduction-fired pieces — a process which causes the clay to turn a deep, sumptuous black. Odundo’s work is often cited as an exploration of the female experience of the body, with pieces frequently sculpted to mimic or evoke aspects of the human form, such as the neck, spine, hair or the outlines of the body during pregnancy. As accomplished a teacher as she is an artist, Odundo enjoyed teaching posts at several institutions before becoming professor emerita at the University for the Creative Arts in England. Her career has garnered an assortment of awards, honorary doctorates, and appointments, including a 2020 lifetime achievement award and the title of “Dame Commander” from the British monarchy.
