Anne Verdier

To break, not to destroy, but to reveal all the tensions of a sculpture, to find its lines. This is the goal pursued by Anne Verdier, who is also a teacher in cellular biology. Celadon, stoneware, porcelain, tiles, or bricks, she accumulates materials and blends them. Firing in the kiln is just a step to glorify the clay. Then, everything begins where things usually end. The tool takes on importance: by breaking, the hammer invents. Striking, shattering, reassembling, scratching, expecting nothing but delighting in what emerges. A creative chaos that results in a mysteriously harmonious work.
