The stoneware is speckled white, raw and mineral.

A few days ago, at sunset, Cecile Mestelan placed ceramics on the limestone rocks of the Côte des Basques. Not in a gallery. Not on a white plinth. On stone, grey and ochre, streaked with minerals, shaped by years of  water and salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe calcaire of the Basque Coast is an archive. Every vein of rust and white tells a slow transformation, the same transformation clay undergoes in fire. Placing these pieces on those rocks was an act of recognition. Ceramics are not foreign to the cliff. They are an accelerated version of it, carried by a hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis series marks the beginning of a new phase in Cecile Mestelan's practice: \u003cstrong\u003emore mature, more affirmed, more free.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each piece carries that moment with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade in Biarritz\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Zigzag Vase is \u003cstrong\u003ehandmade in Biarritz\u003c\/strong\u003e by Cecile Mestelan.
