“For this residency project, I plan to explore new forms in ceramics, focusing on small and medium-sized formats. These objects will be designed to stand alone, but their potential lie in the possibility of assembling them to create larger, interconnected works. I aim to refine my technical mastery by exploring smaller dimensions while experimenting with new aesthetic and conceptual approaches. I also plan to devote specific time to researching new glaze tests, to diversify the textures and visual effects of the pieces. This exploration of glazes is part of a wider process aimed at enriching my ceramic practice by opening up new possibilities for design”. EGL
