Dissonance

Expression piece composed of glass and ceramic decorated with the Majolica technique

This artwork was created by Judith Dubord and Momo the apprentice at the very beginning of the pandemic which hit the whole world in the spring of 2020. The ceramicist Judith Dubord was then at the beginning of her participation in the "100dayproject" challenge during which the participants had to choose a project and complete one step each day, for 100 days. The artist then chose to explore different decorative patterns for her ceramic pieces. Her challenge was to imagine and then draw in pencil or watercolor the ornaments that she would then test on these works.

For many, the motif chosen for the Dissonance vase echoes a graphic vision of the virus. This apparent link is however quite unconscious, since Judith Dubord did not intend to refer to the virus in itself. Within the pattern appears a different element, due to its color. This element, which sets it apart from others, helps to highlight similarities and vice versa. It is through the difference that the rhythm of the other pieces of the motif shines, and it is through repetition that the difference shines in its turn. This desire to "break the rhythm" is also very present in the work of the ceramist in general.

As for them, the 21 pieces of glass were shaped in a flame by Momo the apprentice. They sport a bright flame and intense colors that seem to be trapped in a glass bubble - those famous bubbles that we know well since the pandemic!
