Yvonne Edwards-Tucker and Curtis Tucker(USA)
"Homage to B. B. King, 1991" (Thrown and sgraffito-carved raku)
> The late (...) Curtis Tucker (...)and Yvonne Edwards-Tucker
> (...) combined elements from African, Asian
> and European sources into one integrated cultural ensemble(...)
> The shapes recall a combination of African and
> European pottery, while the raku technique is Asian. The
> subject matter, however, is distinctly African American.
> B. B. King is a legendary blues musician, and therefore,
> the work is wrapped around the mysterious and complicated
> rhythm of blues sounds translated into visual values.
