1963

My work approaches conceptual references to cultural history through the medium of ceramics. The objects which I produce question the invisible, like an excavation, or reveal the unsaid, like a testimony. Very often, this work takes the form of series or installations, where I combine ceramic objects with other materials or media. Mine is a process of artistic research, in that I translate observations into ceramic objects in the form of memories and gestures.
