Description
Peter Briggs (born 1950) K9, 2024-2025 Enamelled sheet metal Titled, dated "K9 2024-2025" and facing upwards in black felt-tip pen on orange labels on rear 27 x 32.5 cm Peter Briggs' work is part of a morphogenetic investigation in which sculptural form is seen as a process of transformation analogous to natural phenomena (growth, tension, aggregation). Initially developed in the field of metal, this approach was extended to ceramics in the 1990s. In the 'celadon' series, Briggs mobilises a technical register historically associated with East Asian production. The artist experimentally recontextualised celadon, adapting it to contemporary volumes often marked by surface irregularities and internal tensions. This research culminated in a project at the Centre artisanal de Poncéaux (Moulins de Paillard), initiated by Céline Robert and Hubert Paris. Briggs is working closely with Matthieu Robert, a specialist in high-temperature enamels. For Briggs, celadon acts as a revealer, revealing the interactions between structure, surface and firing process.
