metis  sara v. ceramics




The language of ceramics is the gesture and movement of the body.


It was through a ceramics workshop that I rediscovered the potential of clay in my practice. Its plastic qualities and metamorphoses enchanted me deeply, so much so that I decided to focus on the matter itself and discover all its mysteries.

Exploring traditional pottery techniques such as hand modelling and wheel throwing allows me to question the dimension, texture and mutation of clay. It is the subtlety of these uninterrupted states that nourish my research.

Thinking about ceramics engenders a constant reflection on balance; be it water, fire, chemistry, temperature, shape or density. The form as a vehicle of expressiveness and language of the body, the harmony of details and the rhythm are the premises that foster my relationship with the matter. All these measures mark the temporality of my artistic expression through ceramics.
