movie day: Make and Do in Conversation with Marina Lespérance Lopez for Clay Week 2020

 

For Clay Week 2020 Make and Do collective member Marianne Chénard interviewed Marina Lespérance Lopez.

Je suis née Montréal et j’ai grandi dans la région de Lanaudière, au Québec, pour finalement revenir dans la région métropolitaine vers la fin de mes études secondaire. Fille de parents latino-américain et québécois, la mixité culturelle et les voyages ont construit mon identité. J’ai poursuivi mes études en Arts Visuels et Médiatiques à l’Université du Québec à Montréal et par la suite une spécialisation en métiers d’arts céramiques au cégep du Vieux-Montréal.

J’ai été formée en arts visuels et médiatiques, où je faisais principalement de la sculpture et de l’installation en céramique mais aussi avec d’autres matériaux. Mon passage de la création d’objets d’arts vers les objets utilitaires vient d’une quête de sens, je voulais que mes oeuvre soient accessibles pour la vie quotidienne. J’ai aussi intérêt profond pour le parcours des objets et leur grand potentiel de charge émotive. D’où ils viennent, qui les a fait, dans quelles conditions… Je souhaite reconnecter avec la valeur des objets dans notre réalité d’économie du fast moving consumer, qu’on achète moins souvent, mais avec intention. Je souhaite voir mes oeuvres intégrer la routine des gens au jour le jour, qu’ils inspirent, et qu’ils apportent une petite touche de magie au quotidien.

Running a Clay Studio During Covid: KJ MacAlister and Kaleb Romano for Clay Week 2020

In Sept 2020 make and do ceramics visited the Edmonton community studios Viva Clayworks; run by KJ MacAlister, and The Shop Art and Ceramic Studio; run by Kaleb Romano.
