“There is a “consanguinity” of glass and ceramic materials.

“Pâte de verre ” before meaning a technical process for forming glass, referred to a material stemmed from their hybridization.

I work at present on their association, considering the symbolic dimensions of their physical-chemical qualities. Glass is an amorphous structure subjected to the flow and reversibility, whereas ceramic materials are related to the fixed and irreversibility.

Glass, as "fluid", refers to passing time, duration that cannot be handled out, while the ceramic materials, as "fixed", refers to the crystallized time of memory.

The matter, for me, is in listening, not to the clay nor the glass as matter but as materials; because it is in the process itself by which they are shaped, that they reveal the meanings borne of which they are.

For me, they hold an idea of the time that I try to update”.
