The Journey of Things by Magdalene Odundo (InOtherWords, 2019)
It reads less like a catalogue and more like a meditation on how objects move through time, carrying memory and meaning. Her work unfolds in dialogue with different cultures and histories, reminding us that making is never isolated, but always part of something larger.
What continues to draw us in is the stillness of her vessels. Their silhouettes expand and narrow like a breathing body, holding tension and softness at once. They feel grounded and sensual, ancient yet present. A quiet study in balance, movement, and human presence.
