      Sculpture de la forme - Le KURINUKI est une technique de céramique japonaise qui date de l’époque 
médiévale EDO. A partir d'une masse d'argile qui a commencé son séchage, je sculpte la forme extérieure avec des outils en bois, estampe des matières,  puis progressivement j'extrais l'argile à l'intérieur. C'est un dialogue intime entre l'extérieur et l'intérieur d'une forme. Elle permet la création de pièces complexes et uniques, travaillées avec mon énergie du moment.
      Working with stones - Stones are everywhere in Japan. In dry gardens, in front of teahouses, on tombs… They are the object of particular devotion. They are respected for their healing properties, admired for their shape and evocative power. They can also be the dwelling place of a spirit: the kami. Before leaving Tokyo, I began researching their symbolism, which I am naturally continuing in Brittany, where stones can be magical, healing, resonant, or megalithic.
      Au Japon (2016-2019), l’âme « s’est incarnée » dans des formes symboliques et universelles comme celles d’un œuf . En arrivant en France en 2019 je décide d'éditer 2 formes en bronze (vanités 1 & 3). Disponibles sur commande.
