Shupiwe Chongwe's Bedforms

Walyalup/Fremantle-based artist Shupiwe Chongwe's solo exhibition Bedforms is a journey into the heart of family, culture and tradition, expressed through the timeless medium of ceramics and contextualised by more recent forays into photography, video and installation.

In this diary extract, Shupiwe reflects on her time in Zambia connecting with family and studying her craft.
