Working with the material guides me toward the form: seeking the smooth texture of a pebble or the raw, rugged surface of a rock. To achieve this, I work, deform, remove, or add clay by hand or with tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor me, glazes are also a material in their own right that becomes one with the form and gives it meaning. Reflecting natural elements, the ones I create are smooth white, downy beige, slightly granular, soft and powdery, speckled green, or subtle black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom this exploration, the \"Floraison minérale\" (Mineral Bloom) collection was born, a set of ceramics for the table: different, random, unique pieces that can be matched or mismatched to make them converse with one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting these plates thus becomes a reflection of what a dinner gathering is: a collection of different people sharing a harmonious moment of conviviality, pleasure, and gastronomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen I was a child, my grandmother owned a multitude of mismatched plates.
