I like humans, I like historical females characters who are winks of time. I like the frills, the buttons, the hats, I like the little details that we don’t see and which are, I like the looks that speak, the mouths from everywhere, the proud noses. I like to mix the races, because it is the imprint of our summarized humanity. I like the bodily attitudes that tell, which evoke a breath, a material, a forward, a story, a movement. I like the strength that emerges from an artpiece on a human scale. I like the aspect of the mineral because it has the color of ancestral nature. I love the earth because I feel free to work with it like a stone. Creating stoneware in such dimensions implies a perfect mastery of weightlessness linked to this material.
I create strong and well-anchored haughty people, with light lines, in the sandstone.
The Allegories are voluntarily full, to restore all the initial power of their creation. The Allegories, although sisters are unique, each has its silent legend.
The Bronze Allegories
Ennobling the mineral so close to nature, to transpose it into bronze, allows to bring out another form of creation, another artistic language. Art and matter are one and the same, mixing in their know-how and aesthetic imprint.
