This is a round abstract ceramic sculpture. It is a cerebral representation of the body, built like a vessel around the void that refers to the vital breath or soul. It was hand-built in stoneware and painted with a combination of glazes and engobes. The surface has matte and glossy areas in shades of white, blue and ochre. It was fired twice in an electric kiln at 950°C and 1230°C.

Vessels around the void
- • Brigitte first worked as a veterinarian
- • She is inspired by meditation and dreams
- • Her work questions the essence of our humanity
After working as a veterinarian in Africa, France and Belgium, Brigitte Arbelot turned to ceramics. In 2017, she opened her own workshop in Brussels, where she focuses on ceramic sculptures and also makes utilitarian pieces. “I changed my life because working with clay is the best way to connect to my inner self and to the world,” she says. For Brigitte, her work acts as an interface between her consciousness and unconsciousness, the visible and invisible. She seeks links between immaterial emotions, vital energies and mineral matter. “The metamorphosis of clay during the working process allows me to give body to the notion of transformation and to question the essence of our humanity. My abstract sculptures are built like vessels around the void that is similar to the breath of life.”
