Statement
My work evolves through a pragmatic yet sensitive approach. Interested in exhausting all technical possibilities, I embark with each project on an experimental path. Each ceramic documents the liveliness of its process, the suspension of the control, in the subtle materiality of form, surface and colour. While the installation "Farandole de bols" reflects this constant research with the object bowl and the relation between shape, size and function; in the serie "Mille", the act of glazing creates, through a new association of the coloured clay body with the glaze, the expression of a chromatic vibration.Curriculum Vitae
