Camille Cornillon Ceramic

As she travels across Europe, Camille Cornillon builds her atlas of artistic and cultural influences, which are constructed like a patchwork around clay. She gives form to her lived experience of the territories by appropriating common objects, transforming and multiplying them, as if to increase their imaginary power. The object becomes the mediator between her inner world and the ever new outer world. The design of this Amsterdam bar cup will receive, triumphantly, the Hellenic letters from the front of a Greek taverna. The banality of the scene of a snake hunting a fly becomes tragic. Memory becomes legend, the commonplace becomes myth. An artist originally from Burgundy, Camille moved to Holland and Belgium, and then came to Greece to find the origins of ceramics. There she finds the soothing frenzy of the eras that come together, she soaks herself in an environment full of history and stories and translates it into a pure craft.
