"I find your collection helpfully detailed and the pieces are simply unique…Still thinking about
those lovely bowls that were gifted to Bascom because the former owner has converted to
Islam. These are the stories that need to be heard."
"…Bascom’s essay about Duga of Imeko grew out of
an accidental encounter…that encounter was very
important. I wanted to view the film as it is the only
evidence we have of the artist at work."
