Amélie maintains a sensitive connection with the landscape. She collects clays, rocks, and plants from nature to shape and glaze her ceramics. The landscape is a pretext for making ceramics, and ceramics a pretext for going into the landscape. A blender of territories. She surveys, she gleans, she assembles materials from her wanderings in the Loire and the mountains. She transforms, she rehydrates, she pound, grinds, and burns all her finds. An infinite game of experimentation and chance. Each modeled object is made up of a small, intimate geography, a witness to places explored, inspired by and resulting from nature. Each firing is a surprise. The raw materials express themselves, the rocks stand out to give each of her pieces a free and spontaneous, textured and vibrant appearance.
