Nani Champy-Scott, raku expertise
‘In its successive phases, the abundance of forms unfolds under the artist's hand like a bed of rare plants under the hand of a gardener. Discovering this vast universe of essential shapes in perfect harmony with colours and textures is a moment of intense contemplation, where time seems to stand still. Our gaze can wander over the surface for a long time, reflecting the artist's movements as well as the traces we can find in nature. The subtle network of twists and turns, a testament to the mastery of the rapid gesture that precisely measures the cooling of the piece, evokes visions of dried earth. And our hand feels like the skin of an animal. It's up to us to explore this new world, to discover unexpected volumes with the richness of their glazes and to follow the labyrinth of cracks - to rediscover the spirit of raku’.
