Pascale Masera - céramiste
Pascale presents a collection of works in porcelain, lighting and tableware, as well as unique "Les Organiques" pieces.
Artistic approach
My research into textures and shapes aims to bring everyone back to the primal emotions inspired by nature.
My ambition is to sublimate the imprint of time on the material: I create original works in porcelain that magnify the contrast between fragile transparency and raw strength.
Despite the strength of the contrasts, harmony and softness remain.
The deliberate choice of a pure material such as cookie porcelain enables me to
effects that are both silky and rough, but always luminous. The
paper clay" technique, in which cellulose is incorporated into the clay
allows us to reach unfathomable limits with fine porcelain.
This is how I shape, add, push, tear and glue to the limits of balance
and let the scars of shaping show.
I also create plant textures inspired by lichen and other endemic mosses.
Every attempt to create with another material brings me back ever more strongly to porcelain
to porcelain: a clay whose mechanical strength contrasts so well with its translucence
contrasts so well with its translucence, this fine clay that the firing process brings closer to glass,
these fragile transparencies that rub shoulders with the jagged appearance of coral.
The subjects I propose are an invitation to travel, and their realization is an invitation to dream
to dream.
In front of these works, the viewer is taken back to a nature
but which, however, does not exist in this form.
