My ceramics are female
I have been working with ceramics for around twenty years yet I still lack the nerve to call myself a ceramicist. The ceramicist works at a specific trade that requires time, study, experience and endless patience. I instead use the basic techniques of ceramics and share the true ceramicist’s love of the material because ceramics is a passion. The manual labour is a pleasure for me: I model small objects with which I make large assemblages and I sew them into embroideries on cloth, in this case straightjackets. I have a very intimate relationship with ceramics that is conducted in my own home, on a drawing board that is always very clean and tidy, despite clay being a material ill-suited to such conditions. A bag full of clay for me contains the whole of the visible world and this permits me not to leave the house in search of the objects of the world. I bring to ceramics all the conceptual charge of my work that has as its theme the feminine. Hence I can say that my ceramics are female.
