The central structure has been created using a slab construction technique. This ‘big pebble’ is then decorated with a set of small porcelain textured elements, assembled meticulously one by one, creating movement.

Addicted to porcelain
- • Marik creates sculptures out of pure white porcelain
- • She is constantly researching new ways to work with it
- • She exhibited at the Révélations 2015 exhibition in Paris
Marik Korus (real name Marie Claude Korus) takes inspiration from nature, the sea, architecture and aspects of her environment that spark her imagination. She is constantly inspired by the nature in Charente-Maritime, France, where she has lived for more than 15 years. She trained as a teacher of artisanal crafts and it was during this training that she discovered ceramics. At first, she simply found clay an attractive medium, however she then realised that the material threw up constant questions, right up until the final firing. After investigating the raw qualities of clay, she now researches ways to increase the transparency and lightness of porcelain. She compares her love for porcelain to eating chocolate: “You can’t stop, as long as it’s still there!”

The highly textured surface of this white porcelain sculpture is evocative of a seashell or coral. Differently shaped and textured porcelain elements bring variety to the design of this piece. Thin plates are joined one by one on to the surface of a central curved shape – a ‘big pebble’ – which was created using a slab construction technique.

A central sphere is shaped by casting porcelain in a mould. This central vessel is then carefully decorated with cellulose-like elements coated with slip. The finished construction then undergoes two very high temperature firings.
