Thiébaut Chagué (born 1958)
‘Matrice’ (Matrix)
2006
For French artist Thiébaut Chagué, the physical
acts of making have conceptual or philosophical
dimensions. He describes the firing process as
pushing the clay to the limit of resistance, risking
destruction. For Chagué, this is a necessary part of
the creative process, the fissuring that may occur
revealing the energy contained within the forms.
Made in Taintrux, France
Stoneware, thrown, incised and wood-fired
Museum no. C.97-2007
