Helene Maury
Hélène is an explorer of landscapes and materials, a wandering and creative soul with roots anchored in the Lot region. On foot or by bike, she travels wild paths, gleaning clays, plant ash, rocks, and natural treasures. She combines these raw materials with local sandstone—Burgundy or Normandy sandstone—and also incorporates recycled or discarded natural materials—such as plant ash—in an approach that respects resources and living things. In her home studio, each ceramic bears the imprint of her hand and tells the story of her wanderings. Shaped by embracing, in one hand, the long term and in the other, spontaneity, her creations celebrate the unpredictable beauty of the world. Hélène creates a sincere work, nourished by an art of living rooted in the simple gestures of everyday life and inspired by her wonder for nature, plants, minerals, the earth, and the rhythms of the seasons.
