Nadia Pasquer

"Nadia Pasquer's work occupies a unique place on the contemporary ceramics scene. Absolutely perfect, with an incomparable emotional touch, her polyhedra evoke celestial bodies and constellations, and are born on the edge of different territories, as much physical and sensory as mental, questioning the tension between near and far. These hand-sized objects (and this is no coincidence) are indeed about intimacy and space, geometry and sensuality, singularity and universality. The great strength of these pieces, their obviousness, lies in the fact that the oldest and simplest techniques - modelling and polishing clay, the most ceramic too - preside over the evocation of poetic forms which, beyond the realm of ceramics, resonate in our collective imagination. We may even find echoes of other figures, such as origami, whose spiritual dimension is generally overlooked. Neither functional nor decorative, these "space stones" are rather objects of meditation, like meteorites that have crossed the centuries that separate us from Luca Paccioli and his Divine Proportion figures or Albrecht Dürer and the polyhedron of his Melencholia. They questioned the links between art and science and the mystery of the universe."
