Sylvie Enjalbert: Selected works, 2019-2023
My pots are like echoes, translations of something both original and universal: they are the evocations of pots. Ancient pots held water, grain, and food; they served to store, carry or cook; they contained some sort of nourishment. The pots which I make nourish me in an essential way. Thus, a dialogue between the everyday object and the work of art can be established. The simplicity of my artworks is a direct result of the connexion we can have as human beings with the divine within us.
The surface of my containers shows movements like little waves created by the imprint of my thumb. These irregularities reveal the individual soul of the piece, the simple trace of a finger indicating movement and life itself.
