Process
Object and ornamentation are fundamental in my art practice. My formal research is superimposed to a quest for the intimate poetic-play where metaphor is essential. To me, clay embodies rootedness and intimacy. It allows me to access the hollow form, an important concept for me. Delicate glass invokes exuberance and volubility, an evocative and powerful ornamental language. The cohabitation between simplicity and fantasy is one of my signature processes. I relentlessly explore the fine line between delicacy and disorder.
