Viriditas, which in Latin means "greenness," is the title of Colombian artist and ceramist Carol Young's most recent exhibition; it is an ode to the plant world, to its vitality and exuberance. The forms gathered in this exhibition, fantastic, relics of an archaic flora, are born from the value that Young gives to viriditas as the power of plants to grow and heal. They are her tribute to the dream forest, cultivated patiently, lovingly and that today surrounds and inhabits her. Living, vibrant forms of essential beauty that combine human and natural intelligence, in the tactile seduction of the ancient alchemy of clay.
