	Gustavo PEREZ (Mexico) Dates: b. circa 1950 Studied at the School of School of Design and Crafts in the Plaza de la Ciudadela, Mexico (1971-73) followed by a 5 year apprenticeship in Quertaro. He won a two year scholarship at the Academy of Art in Holland (1980-1982). On his return to Mexico in 1984, he set up a studio at EI Tomate on the Rancho Dos y Dos, near Xalapa. Since 1992, he has worked in his own studio in Zencuantla, Veracruz. He makes wheel thrown vessels with uniform geometric cuts in the clay surface, or sometimes decorating his minimilist pots with geometric patterns. He participated in the International Ceramics Festival in 2005. "For many years I have been fascinated by the apparition of a new and unwanted possibility, something that at first I do not accept nor understand, but that after a while becomes an evident source of development. I try to pay attention to everything that happens out of my control, or even completely against my original intentions. It was by one of these fortunate accidents that I discovered the effect of the sort of wound, characteristic of a long series of pieces I made in the last ten years".
