about

« It all started with fantasies. I wanted to make jars that carry us in stories. As soon as I got into it, my hands decided otherwise.

—

The flow of things. I try to place myself in a pleasant degree between projection and letting go. Once the process is underway, a conversation begins. Depending on my mood and my surroundings, the form will be twisted by impatience or calmly composed of a collection of incidents. »

French ceramist, trained at La Cambre School of Design in Belgium, Livia Spinga has been developing a research work based on gestures as a generator of stories: the "pot" and its manufacture become pretexts to develop a plastic language and narrative evocations. She accumulates pots as if they were encounters and moods. She makes and undoes, she questions gestures and firing and draws her own beliefs from them. She places hesitation, error and letting go at the heart of her practice and transforms them into ornaments.
