On her walks, Thérèse collects seeds, twigs and berries and incorporates them into her porcelain work. This piece combines the fruits of Abelmoschus with porcelain paper. Thérèse dips these fruits into a liquid mixture of porcelain paper, combines them, and fires at 1280 °C. During the firing, the plants burn, leaving their trace in porcelain, evocative of natural formations such as fossils or corals.
