Marylène Millérioux

“Between the fire and the clay, shapes take form by chance. Equilibrium is lost, and flames leave their mark. The movements of my capture motion, what is invisible. A simple, raw dance, marked by shadow and light. I try to capture movement through forms that are revealed and magnified by the effects of wood firing. Fire, the central element of my work, leaves a unique imprint on each piece, especially with the long firing times in an anagama kiln.

My work focuses on a search for presence: the space of a round form, the way an angle dances, catching the eye. Simple lines, subtle tensions, like the echoes of an intimate desire.”
