Junliang Ma
Junliang Ma never stopped asking himself what kind of ceramist he wanted to be. Well-versed in the technical demands of the craft, he aspired to produce something other than the "perfect". It took a great deal of courage and stubbornness for him to dare transgress the ancestral rules he had learned, and to dare to commit the terrible act of tearing the just-turned clay ring in two. From this powerful and liberating gesture, which occurred shortly before his arrival in France in 2022, the Mémoire series was born.
