Since long time, men are making bricks inside molds.

Extending this process, the brick molded here is serving, after firing, as a mold itself. It is during the making, through hand erosion, that in each of them a space is introduced, like a receptacle.

This principle, applied systematically and coming from a very simple action, reveals forms in emptiness, which are all related, independent and different.

After the bisque firing, the inside empty space is filled with slip clay, which gives after drying, the birth to fine elements: deposits in the mold.

The total drying of these fragile “shells” allows the separation from the mother brick.

The installation reveals the relation and differences in between those two groups. It gives a balance from structured to free space.

Technical notes: molded fired clay, slip casting, bisque firing.
