'Truth'. This clay was kindly gifted by Jessica Leech who was moved when seeing the installation at Manchester City Art Gallery and wanted to get involved, this was by getting me clay from her ancestral homeland South Korea, she got the clay when she went back to visit her brother.

The tradition carries on to modern Korea and there are a lot of potteries are still made in this area, which has the best white grade clay can be harvested.
