Gise Trauttmansdorff's "Pillows" are an intriguing tease. From the outside they resemble a shape inviting one to rest one's head. The slab envelopes the inner space that invokes the secure dark feeling of a native dwelling in the American South West which is only accessible through a top opening.
This shape found inside a house becomes a dwelling in itself viewed from the outside. Playing the inside against the outside, the shape of the opening against the form of the vessel
juxtaposing texture and smooth surface black and colour becomes the essence of the piece.
