Between tension and letting go
My research began with learning porcelain from Kinya Ishikawa, 30 years ago, after a break through with a certain reality as a Paris Firefighter.
It was the beginning of a fantastic adventure through the spectrum of Tao. Oriental ceramics as a practice to learn to feel and then express my emotions. In 2008 another break through with a certain reality occurred during an exhibition in Korea, in contact with a small teacup, an 80-year-old tea surrounded by esteemed people.
Since then, I have collaborated with many tea houses and artisans, artists, galleries. All passionate about this theme, tea and oriental ceramics as a means of expression and encounters with honesty and sincerity!
In 2024 I experienced for a third time a break through with reality during the fire of my workshop and outbuildings. Bringing me back to essential considerations concerning my approach to creations, tea, life, shared emotions... the adventure continues !
