It was during my early years of study in the visual arts that I developed an interest in the themes of the imaginary, hybridity and children's stories, exploring a variety of formal universes. Then, through a corpus of pictorial, textile and eventually ceramic works, personal narrative and the theme of childhood quietly defined themselves as key themes in my approach. Through the representation of drawn characters, in gestures of collage and fragmentation, but also through the integration of color, I am now interested in creating particularly playful and sensitive works. By exploring the gestures and iconography specific to children, I appropriate various traditional techniques in my ceramics practice, notably colombin shaping, modeling and drawing on turned forms.
Using the figure of the clown, the butterfly and the flower, my work presents itself as a series of formal and iconographic explorations marked by the trace of gesture, narrative and playfulness. From pellet making, through the integration of colored clay motifs, to drawing on turned forms, I pursue an approach to the ceramic medium that is at once formal, utilitarian and artistic. Thus, in a playful relationship with the material, my collection is driven by a constant desire to explore both traditional techniques and decors.
The Centre de céramique Bonsecours (CCB) is proud to present the collections of its 2025 graduates of the DEC Techniques métiers d'art - Céramique specialization.
In addition to offering the college program in collaboration with Cégep du Vieux Montréal, the CCB's mission is to promote research and creation in contemporary ceramics. Its gallery offers a diversified annual program of exhibitions, lectures and special events.
