Johanna de Clisson is an artistic director. A few years ago, a need to return to manual creation resurfaced within her. Clay answered her desires, a material for which a few gestures are enough to bring forth a concrete form. While utilitarian ceramics were at their peak, Johanna turned towards a radically different aesthetic. Under the name Hiromi, she ventured into a wildly free yet precisely controlled creative process. In her sculptures, sometimes luminous, with undulating forms like a wave, some will see a Japanese influence. Others will perceive fantastical silhouettes in her ovoid pendants. Architecture, however, is the key word that structures her entire approach to clay. Like an architect, she records her ideas in her notebooks and traces her guiding principles. A coherence emerges between each of her pieces. Conceived as modules that can be grouped and isolated, her raw earthenware pieces are a symbiosis of rigorous materiality and voluptuous silhouette. "Free-spirited," Hiromi promises surprising future creations!
