The South American influence is quite apparent in the pottery created by Alva Snaidero-Miletti. Her own experience has provided a basis that allows her to create primitive forms in a limited space and in the absence of colour. Her creations are removed of superficial detail and appeal visually to the onlooker’s perception of harmony of movement and sense of touch. Each piece has been individually crafted, allowing her the time to reflect and to use her hands to convey her emotions and her thoughts.
