Bisila Noha is a Spanish London-based ceramics artist. With her work she aims to challenge Western views on art and craft; to question what we understand as productive and worthy in capitalist societies; and to reflect upon the idea of home and oneness pulling from personal experiences in different pottery communities. Her work is primarily wheel thrown, with the distinctive addition of marbled slip decoration. However, for her last project, Baney Clay: An Unearthed Identity, she set herself a new challenge by processing and using new clay bodies and mixing throwing and coiling aiming to, through the clay, exploring her own identity.
Strongly influenced by Japanese ceramics, she makes ‘simple’ ceramic pieces that she uses either as canvas for abstract landscapes or as the embodiment of her reflections and personal life stories. She also co-directs @_lonartorg, an arts and activism organisation. You can check out their flagship project Sheroes via @_sheroes.
