"I try to approach my ceramic pieces with naïveté and to let go of my constant quest for perfection. The clay has a mind of its own, it's slow and unforgiving, it dries according to the weather and forgives no clumsiness."

"With clay, I improvise, I digress. My creative process is the opposite of my work in graphic design or artistic direction, where the transition to realization is the culmination of a long thought process governed by multiple constraints."

C5A7

"My hands, my intuitions, my emotions are my guides. I seek a form, which most of the time I do not find, so I start over. This often leads me to blobs and phalluses, admittedly... "

C5A7

"For each piece, I like to witness every stage of drying, which calls for a different gesture or tool to refine the contours, the texture."

"Glazing still makes me extremely nervous, it's a completely different process that requires a lot of precision, careful calculations, and mastery, the final test!"

"My studio is a bubble where time has no grip. I often work there at night when everyone is asleep and nothing can interrupt me."
