Panchalie Sathirasas
Ceramics
Panchalie Sathirasas is a Thai artist born in the eastern province of Chonburi. The colours of her glazes recall the changing shades of rocky hills rising out of plains, and of rice fields of varied growth.
A graduate of Thailand’s art school, Silpakorn University, she studied archaeology and the origins of Thai aesthetics. After an initial career related to the media, she turned in the late 1980s to ceramics as her life’s calling.

... I do not walk the way of big noise, it hurts and I must run to the forest for healing. I read the strange codes written in the gnarled bark of trees of the deep forest that speak of a far-off age. Secret things are known to the ancient tree that stands in the centre, blasted and inscribed in its whorls by scorching heat and tearing wind. The chit-chat sounds that electrons sing are not known in the deep woods. The songs of trees are made of gentle sounds, songs without words, music without notes. These are my sounds. I mould clay to fashion visions of trees that reach to other skies.
