“I define myself as an artist-designer. I approach sculpture as a medium to create forms made to evolve in our daily space. I like to rethink the place of the unique object and its place in our interiors. I like the ambiguity of creating particular pieces, which is often useful in bringing Art into the realm of design. I mainly work with stoneware (ceramic) but my approach focuses on the meeting and dialogue between materials. "
In Lagos, Léa Bigot is working on an installation made up of several bench modules, sculpted in clay and with natural fibers woven directly into the clay.
