Artist's Statement: I like to master the notice of space and to capture light, seeing through a piece in order to inhabit it and be aware of it's gesture.

I've been working for 10 years in a ceramic studio then I settled down in my own studio 5 years ago. I make hand building and throwing pieces working with earthenware, stoneware or porcelain. And often combine several techniques. I made exhibition in France, Switzerland, and Belgium and received last year a prize at Carrouge for the box. I make usually one-off produce or limited thematic series. (website: www.loreceramic.com)
