Being raised in the French Alps, my childhood was marked by an exposure to nature and a fascination with structural landforms that result from dynamic geological processes. Through clay, I have been able to explore my long-held sensibility for organic textures and biomorphic shapes, using 3D objects to capture the intricacies at the intersection of art, nature, and science. Fascinated by the research of scientists on the impacts of climate change on forests and the reliance of these ecosystems on the unseen work of fungus to adapt to it, my recent work takes inspiration from mycorrhizal fungi that form a symbiosis with the roots of most plants on Earth. In my series “Symbiotic,” the Sgraffito patterns etched onto the surface of mushroom-like shapes recall these complex networks that feed and support the functions of larger organisms. In their dormancy, these works remind us that, despite appearances, there is always growth and circulation—life, ultimately, in stillness.
