LORÈNE CAVAGNA
Cluster Exhibitor | Cluster Crafts | 2022
Lorène Cavagna is an art ceramist who is exploring movement and repetition through research into glazes. She started her journey in ceramics in London, where she got her degree. Two years later, she moved back to France, where she has been working with stoneware and porcelain in her studio in Paris. Fascinated by light, colours and contrasts, she conducts a scientific research allowing her to exploit a palette of infinitely varied shades of glazes.

“I work with stoneware for its strength and ability to resist deformation in my sculptures. My aim is to push the material to its limits and to blur the idea that one might have of ceramics. The game of extreme refinement meets the magical unpredictability of glaze. With the repetition of simple forms on a structure, I change the volume and the perspective. These protrusions become one with the piece, creating a new and unexpected element. ”

“From this new blank white “canvas” I apply spray glazes, which have been developed after years of research, hundreds of tests conducted with scientific approach and precision to suit this type of sculpture. They envelop the protrusions without masking their fineness and come to sublimate the movement thus created. Each creation has its own dynamics and the protrusions, which are entirely handmade, guide me in the way I affix them to the structure. ”

“I work with clay because it allows for an infinite number of options and possible realisations, and because it serves as a basis for me to be able to play with the colours as a painter would with his canvas. The glaze research is central to my practice and to the life rhythm in the studio. I tirelessly develop and test my glazes, creating rich and vibrant colours with infinite variations. These colours fascinate, move and transport the viewer. Their subtle variations reveal themselves with the light.”
