Inspiration: It is a constant search for harmony that the artist speaks of as follows: “I like to tame porcelain with a sharp eye: accepting deformation, triggering mistakes, reusing what is thrown away, reintegrating what is broken and thus diverting the technical process. I work with the mistakes that occur in my creative process: I reproduce them by shaping an aesthetic language based on the search for the limit of the material. I focus on the loss of control in manufacturing. »
It is a process in which craftsmanship must strengthen collaboration with the material, challenging the boundary between mastery and control, perfection and accident, chance and the expected. The nature of porcelain is strongly linked to the nature of the accidental. This material, which has a reputation for being capricious, retains the memory of everything that has happened to it with a great possibility of deformation. When processing in the high-temperature kiln, everything will become visible and congeal in the porcelain.
