Ongoing Conversation / Sara Hakkert, Vered Hakkert

The exhibition is a cooperative project between the established ceramic artist Sara Hakkert and her daughter, the artist, Vered Hakkert. Art is the deep connection between mother
and daughter and the language they share. In the home are paintings of Vered selected by her mother from different periods and her ceramic studio has an atmosphere of creativity
and making.
Vered’s connection to collage also appears in the works of her mother as architectural collaged structures. Both are continuously occupied with deconstruction and rebuilding of
things. Vered draws spaces – either her house in Jaffa or her parent’s home in Haifa. Sara creates new structures that are three dimensional and sometime two dimensional.
M.C.Richards states that art can be an opening to changing material consciousness, the experience of the material world as alive, the subjective truth, the truth that is a personal
gift to the universe. The exhibition Ongoing Conversation draws the viewer closer to give a personal view of the works made by the two artists.
The ceramic vessels in the exhibition were made by Sara Hakkert over various periods and are characterized by the cutting and joining of slabs to create vessels or new objects. She is
influenced by Lucie Rie and Bernard Leach as well as the ceramic artist Hilda Merom. The painting by Vered Hakkert in the exhibition was made specifically for the joint exhibition as a
tribute to her mother’s art and the family home.

Sara Hakkert began working in ceramics in the 60’s. She studied art history at the University of Haifa as well as ceramics as part of her degree. Continuing her studies in ceramics at Tel
Hai with Sydney Rosenstone and at Givat Haviva Art Center with Avner Zinger, who both influenced her work. Sara was the curator and editor of research about Marcel Janko at the
