CRATÈRE’S PROOF
h. 35 cm, red earthenware, black enamel, 2013
The Cratère’s proof series, directly inspired by objects circulating in space, offers as a first impression that of pieces of rock stranded there by chance.
A chaotic surface that catches the light and silhouettes with irregular lines reminiscent of the rough informality characteristic of meteorites.
The name provides a clue as to the function of these strange objects: they are vases, like those of the same name from ancient Greece that were used to store liquids.

CRATERLET + ANTENNE I
h. 32 cm, red earthenware and bleu de Sèvres enamel, 2013
By carefully observing these shapes with wild reliefs, we will see geometric or mechanical elements appear. Holes and openings provide functionality and a precise formal contrast: smooth versus rough, circular versus random.
ANTENNE V
h. 18 cm, red earthenware and bleu de Sèvres enamel, 2013
A series of small eccentric vases complements this very mineral collection: ANTENNE.
A family of excrescences with bevelled pipes and delicate assemblies, like rigorous haikus or balancing onomatopoeias. A joyful collision of geometric elements, playful angles and cutouts with cobalt reflections.
GRAND CRATÈRE
h. 39 cm, red earthenware and bleu de Sèvres enamel, 2013
It all starts with the discovery in a bucket of earthenware residue of a hazardous amalgam, vaguely evoking the irregular silhouette of a meteorite. This mass of earth will impose itself and serve as an imprint for the realization of a mould.
A relationship analogous to the natural phenomenon if we consider that the crater produced by the impact of a meteorite is a potential mould, a bit like its negative.
