Pim Sudhikam is a prominent contemporary ceramic artist. She received a bachelor degree from the Department of Industrial Design, Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University and a master of Fine Arts degree, School of Design and Crafts, Gothenburg University, Sweden. Engaged with the properties of “clay”, the main raw material for creating ceramic works, she often tries to overcome technical challenges and material disadvantages to discover modern ideas and forms for ceramic art. A Conversation with a Potter originates from her background of growing up and living in the heart of the rapidly changing metropolitan. She observes the construction of large-scale projects that dig down the ground deep to the clay layer. The characteristics of the clay are the same as that used for pottery since prehistoric times, millions of years ago before the foundation of the city. They are connected as a single piece of soil from the same tectonic plate as the Ban Kao cultural site in the western part of Thailand.

She uses clay from underground excavation for construction projects in historical areas of Bangkok and various subway projects as raw materials to make vessels with hand building methods that are subject to the limitations of tools and techniques, just like a potter in other time. The vessels that look similar to prehistoric pottery and the ones that have shapes reflecting their current use become a medium for exchanging conversations between potters from two periods of time. Both connect memories of the land with the same earthen plate through different times and places.
