My work and research are focused on craft design of unique pieces which have a strong elaborated graphical dimension and sophisticated presentation. Pieces are designed as environmentally friendly as possible so that new use value and primary material re-use are inherent to their fabrication.
To support this approach, I eliminate the less energy-efficient equipment commonly used for blown glass objects. Then I revisit and rehabilitate traditional techniques such as canes and "murrines" roll up and especially thermoformed glass plates. These different processes allow me to reintegrate and stylize the scraps and also glass residuals to make unique and valuable objects composed essentially of pure colors. This type of proess obviously influences all my production aesthetics such as perfume bottles and jewelry boxes.
I am retrieving different styles from different epochs and confronting them on every single piece. That is why their ornamentation varies greatly. As a visual result we can observe geometric shapes which are flying apart, incongruous dispositions that seem to be placed randomly or forming refined and colored hexagonal honeycombs.
Continuing in the same vein, the three-dimensional aspect of my work is also inspired by historical references, particularly by Art Deco, but adding softened lightened curves. In opposition to their singular graphical design, the shape of each glass piece is strongly similar.
Today, I am focusing my work on the texture. It underwent various interventions: polishing or unpolishing, and sometimes it is merges with the silica to enhance the appearance. I'm interested in playing with the texture in a way that the glass appearance becomes misleading: we don't know anymore if it's glass or ceramic, stone, marble, or even textile. So I create an ambiguity of the identity of the material.
