I touched one day by chance the earth, and it was a revelation. All alone in my basement with my cats, I started to work. I went from one surprise, the earth beneath my fingers obeyed my thoughts. Without ever having learned, I mastered the material. Aided by a few readings to understand the drying stage, and cooking, I quickly acquired a kiln. I am passionate about this art that gives so much pleasure. The earth has become my friend, since we almost human for him to come to life: water, air and fire. So I started with some small pieces, and then I realized more and more important. Without tower, without a mold, just the coils or plate. Then came the carving. Again, I never learned, and so I had to sometimes use my own image to reproduce the contour of a leg or arm.
