Tête 2

Camille Virot seeks to bring out the best in the basic materials she uses, aiming for an “expressiveness of clay without artifice or shine” to rediscover the humility of folk pottery. Her creations are profoundly influenced by her environment, in particular the mountains and the hardness of the minerals that surround her. Her pieces can have smooth or rough surfaces, sometimes with lime applied to the glaze before firing.
Camille Virot’s work is often described as rough, earthy and rooted.
