This is the first edition of a series of enclosed forms exploring the depth of enamel. With this work, Emmanuel aimed to express the inherent versatility of ceramics, which always oscillates between control and accident. By giving it this shape, both round and square, full and empty, he shows his acceptance of this dilemma.

This fireplace mantel is composed of 41 shapes in sandstone or paper porcelain, coated with high temperature enamels. Each element is fixed individually and the whole can be fragmented and rearranged. Most of the pieces potentially work alone, in diptych or in small groups, allowing new sculptural arrangements.

The interior of this porcelain monolith has been removed in order to embrace the accidental deformations that happen during firing. It was covered with the traditional 'bleu de Sèvres' glaze, imitating the colour and grain of lapis lazuli. It was conceived to be placed on a wall, a table or even on the floor, depending on the owner's wishes.

The insides of these porcelain pieces have been removed in order to embrace the accidental deformations that can happen during the creative process. For Emmanuel, their production was synonymous with liberation and even provocation, after his previous precise and contained works.

This piece was conceived as a colour palette and a way for Emmanuel to experiment with enamelling. It was conceived during his Sèvres residency, where he focused on the metallic effects created by certain enamels. Partial to minimalist shapes, he chose to use the cube here since it would allow him to observe the results of the enamelling vertically, horizontally and on the corners.
