WOLLAA CÉRAMIQUE

I work with clay by modelling, mainly stoneware. This technique amplifies the moving, organic aspect of the material. It inspires me to create forms related to living things. A large proportion of the pieces I make represent anthropomorphic and zoomorphic faces or bodies, more or less caricatured, more or less slender, more or less in motion. I mainly conceive these pieces as pots intended to house succulents that I grow in nurseries and that I size according to their pot of destination. So I think of some of these pieces as a combination of living and non-living, plant, animal and mineral.

I also make vases or planters that I assemble with colombins, looking for asymmetrical curves, and on which I work the texture with finely carved, modelled, drawn or painted ornamentation.

Finally, I have developed a series of tableware pieces, mainly hollow plates in white chamotte stoneware, on which I draw with oxide pencils or paint with coloured engobes.
