Matera

Autor: | Hermanas Díaz Jorquera; |
Resumen: |
Traditional scene that has an anthropomorphic feminine figure as the main character, she has her hair tied on the top of her head, she's sitting on a chair with a mate in her right hand. On the table, we see a jar and a bread basket and next to it there is a brazier with a pot. This scene represents a mate usual consumption custom; a moment of meditation, rest and/or socialization in the Chilean culture. The technique used to make it is the direct hand modeling, cooking in a drum with fine firewood outdoors, gluing and painting.
Maria Díaz Jorquera together with her sister Olga inherited this tradition from their mother, Luisa Jorquera López, who learned the trade from her mother on the last century, through the teachings of the Poor Clares nuns. This kind of craft started at the dawn of the 20th Century, and its origins date back to the activities developed by the nuns of Saint Clare, who had convents in Santiago and Linares. This Religious Order is well known for their ceramist tradition from the XII Century, whose main feature are the small figures and the perfume.
