“I have thrown and altered this bowl made of English pyrity stoneware. I have decorated it on the inside and outside with a black slip using "katagami": a traditional Japanese stencil. I made this stencil with flowers from my herbarium (here, hydrangea quercifolia). I have also used a wood ash glaze with ashes from my wood stove (hornbeam, ash, beech).

I have been creating herbariums since my childhood. My series "My Secret Garden" uses some of these dried flowers and deals with the theme of memory. These creations are a metaphor for enchanted and somewhat melancholic memories.”
