Playing, grinding, kneading, creating … there is a part of childhood in working with clay.
Try to give shape to your imagination through the earth.
Let come the gesture which is essential and arises on the matter.
Rough, smooth, soft, moist, lively, taming the mass, giving it its imprint, putting its strength into it, until the shape emerges …
After having undergone the tests of Water, Air, and Fire, here is the finished work.
Some of them will undergo further tests, such as Raku, polishing, patina, molding, cast iron … From earth they will turn into bronze.
Now is the time to put the work in front of the other.
This look is important for the artist, for his work, for what he wanted to convey and for the impetus it will give to his future work.
