Tables
conversed
Remains left after a meeting. The diners have risen from the table leaving a quiet space. Imprint of a conversation.
The silence after a talk. The moment before or after, is a moment of silence.
Half-disappeared crockery reminiscent of the immaterial. The white color takes weight off them, takes away their presence.
The reflections of the metal as the inner life of each spoon / individual
What attracts me to the set: cup, plate, and teaspoon, is that they represent "ONE MOMENT". A short, small moment, how small objects are.
Drinking a coffee is not a useful act like eating, but something + idle + mental. An empty cup of coffee makes me think of a gathering or a moment of reflection, intimacy, a pause.
The intimate life of objects. The coffee or dessert spoon has to do with sweetening, the soup with feeding. A teaspoon full of sugar = transporter of affection, of love.

Red&White Sequences 1 and 2

Earthenware, terracotta, iron
200x37x37cm
This terracotta sculpture belongs to the Red and White Sequences family. It is a series of elements that follow one after the other and are related to each other, as they all start from the same cylindrical shape made on a lathe. They are always deformed, creating ellipses of different sizes.
Inside some pieces there are other smaller cylinders. The white earthenware pieces are glazed with a satin finish and the terracotta pieces are unglazed, with a matt finish.
These sculptures are based on the idea of beadwork. As the name suggests, the pieces are like beads strung on an iron rod, creating vertical forms.
