Tables
conversed
Remains left after a meeting. The diners have risen from the table leaving a quiet space. Imprint of a conversation.
The silence after a talk. The moment before or after, is a moment of silence.
Half-disappeared crockery reminiscent of the immaterial. The white color takes weight off them, takes away their presence.
The reflections of the metal as the inner life of each spoon / individual
What attracts me to the set: cup, plate, and teaspoon, is that they represent "ONE MOMENT". A short, small moment, how small objects are.
Drinking a coffee is not a useful act like eating, but something + idle + mental. An empty cup of coffee makes me think of a gathering or a moment of reflection, intimacy, a pause.
The intimate life of objects. The coffee or dessert spoon has to do with sweetening, the soup with feeding. A teaspoon full of sugar = transporter of affection, of love.

Organic Totem 14R

Terracotta and iron
200x40x40cm
This sculpture belongs to the family of organic totems.It is made of stoneware and black porcelain, a bluish-colored material with a stony appearance.
​
Like all my work, the ceramic pieces are made on the ceramic lathe.
​
The pieces that make up the sculpture are large bowls that I deform once they are made.
​
In the center is a ball or vase of flowers placed vertically. They are utilitarian pieces to which I give a second function.
They are not "useful" in the strict sense of the word.
