Nadia Pasquer

«Through their theme which evokes the spatial universe, Nadia Pasquer’s polished,smokedclays take ceramics away from the notions of durability, stability and heaviness that are normally associated with it.  This move towards  lightness, different balances and directional uncertainties can be seen in the baseless form, in a simplified but well thought-out  work process. Modelling with the fingertips, smoking in individual, ephemeral sawdust kilns that produce clouds in which brown is mixed with black. Surface perforations which ensure the continuity of the infernal and external spaces, polishing to create métal lescence and light. These works reflect a very modern expression of immateriality.»
