“For me, it's Millet, the essentially modern painter, thanks to whom the horizon has opened up before us”. Vincent VAN GOGH
Christine Vallot, Katherine Dara, painter and ceramist
Two friends, two worlds: that of ceramics and that of drawing, the desire to create together, the curiosity to do something new for both of them. Real four-handed work, Katherine makes the supports: plates, dishes, cups, bowls and I decorate them according to my desires, my inspiration using the oxide pencil or the engobes.
Ceramics require patience and humility, keep a certain mystery and reserve many surprises. It's the joy of always having a unique object, loaded with a form of improvisation and a certain poetry.
For the Millet Barbizon Museum, I was largely inspired by the pencil sketches of Jean-Francois Millet, which appealed to me so much for their spontaneity and their tenderness.
