In 1959, Claudine Monchaussé moved to La Borne, a village with a pottery tradition. Since then, she has pursued personal and private research on monolithic sculptures, whose textures are specific to stoneware firing in wood-burning stoves. She cultivates her own mythology and summons up in her works symbols of maternity and fertility. Her telluric output occupies a niche in the world since the artist made the choice of direct distribution forty years ago.
