Ceramics have enriched our knowledge of the past, from prehistory to the present day. Where as most other materials have decayed, clay artifacts bear witness to early human behaviour and activities due to their longevity, abundance and conservation.

Clay has become an indispensable material to express my ideas. Inspired by archaeological ceramics, which have accompanied me throughout my career as an art conservator, I use clay to create and capture traces of our time and my personal life.

With this work, I take the imprint of plastic food trays making an association to archeology. These new objects, carrying the history of time like ancient ceramic, testify to our way of consuming.

Presenting them in a pile underlines the endless accumulation of our rubbish that becomes part of our earth.
