Thèse Vanitas.
Master Art graphique ESAG Penninghen, major mention excellente.

Vanitas is a state of emptiness.Vanitas is a parallel between ceramics and graphic design through a triptych of contemporary vanities : body, knowledge, morality. A ceramic skull divided in 13 pictogrammes is the starting point of this thesis project. A stop motion video with ceramics confront new technology and tradition. Each pictogramm of the skull is “destroy” in order to show time flying.
A book and the volumes are another part of the thesis project, which you can see on my website.
Earth is memory, permanence, roots.
Earth is matter, ephemera, transition.
Earth is strehgth and fragility, belief and uncertainty.
Earth is vanity.

LYRICS
luchini :
The truth of this world, dear Élifore, is death.
Life is a drunkenness, a lie. It is delicate and indispensable.
sir alice :
Psychophase.
Nothing,
being nothing,
return to origins,
not even being someone who does nothing.
Be nothing.
That is a noble ambition.
I want to be everywhere
I want to be everyone
and I want to know everything.

emerging artist: Mitch Iburg

Signing my name –
a circle drawn in wet clay
Who is it that speaks
of a thousand years?
Surely I have seen nothing close
Hushed by the gusting wind
my voice is carried away
like a leaf now half buried
in the clay bed
 
 

 

Applications open for Earth and Fire International Ceramic Fair

Earth & Fire is one of the country’s premiere ceramic events. For three days in June, over a hundred potters from across the UK and Europe come to Nottinghamshire to sell direct to the public from outdoor market stalls in the ancient abbey ruins and grounds.

The event attracts collectors, gallery owners, enthusiasts and the general public alike, who flock to Rufford to meet and talk to the potters selling everything from garden planters and sculptures, to bowls, pie dishes, teapots, mugs, plates and egg cups.

Truly a celebration of clay in all its forms, Earth and Fire also includes a programme of free demonstrations and talks, trade stands selling all things ceramic, and campus stands showcasing the next generation of potters.

Applications will open online for potential exhibitors until November 22nd
