This book explores the work of internationally renowned ceramic artist Eva Lapka. Originally from the Czech Republic, Eva Lapka is an internationally recognized ceramic artist whose practice is marked by a refashioning of the human whereby she addresses issues of loss, memory, identity and the cycles of life and death. The works in this retrospective publication form a poignant pantheon of fragmented, twisted bodies, with a coherence that speaks not only of Lapka's great mastery of the medium, but of her emotional involvement and personal investment in her art.
