Ceramic sculpture and carbon black glaze, monogrammed. 2021.
9.8 x 7.8 x 3.5 in.

With her new series of sculptures “Contenir le vent”, Brigitte Marionneau’s pieces become sculptures, abstract, essential forms, totally black and opaque. Pure forms, built as in architecture, in stages.
Each piece is carefully polished to reach a velvety surface. The opaque carbon black is obtained by burning sawdust in a closed metal mold. The contrast of the flat areas, sometimes textured by grooves or sometimes smooth, allows the light to animate and enliven each sculpture.
