Estelle‘s ceramics are characterized by a passionate interest in the provocative encounter of different materials and motifs. They reveal detailed observations by an artist working at the extreme limit of the production process. The aesthetics that result are based on a selection of random discoveries.

One has the feeling of a pause in the making, a fragility and transience of material and form. A curious look at the secondary: cautious and challenging. Some processes are controlled and stopped deliberately, others are left to chance. This produces visual ‚creatures‘, setting stories in motion. They offer the observer a visible animation of the material, a poetic elsewhere.
