Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art. (Leonardo da Vinci) Ko te tokitope, ko te whao ngau, he tohu mauri Ko te tātaki kawai he whakaara wairua Ko te taumata atua, takaia ki te koroawai parirau E hikina ai i tōna taongatanga ki te matakite, ki te rangatiratanga (Ngā Toi i roto i te Marautanga o Aotearoa, 2000)

Chemistry and Clay
http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2013/08/porcelainia/
Educator, scientist and artist Bobby Jaber retired from teaching chemistry over 20 years ago and decided to dedicate the next chapter of his life to combining his passions for science and art. To do this he began to mimic some of the most beautifully shaped molecules in existence using porcelain. Jaber says that because he spent so much of his life studying chemistry, the study of change in matter, that ceramics were a perfect extension as they dramatically demonstrate chemical change, especially at the physical level.
