Sandstone vase handmade in the workshop of Catherine Dix Ceramics in Périgord.
She has been developing for nearly several years a work around the bottle. Object a priori of daily life but which it diverts from its primary function. The bottle becomes a sculpture or a vase, a tripod creature, sometimes perched high or evoking a headless cocotte. Interpretation is free.
The work of Catherine Dix Ceramics is a story of construction, assembly, emptiness and fullness, shadow and light. She evolves instinctively by confronting forms, changing places, starting again with others and, gradually, the balance is achieved. Catherine Dix finds an echo in constructivist and brutalist architecture, but also in primitive pottery, with a sensitivity for simple and well-constructed objects.
