Franca Bertani — Mixed media Artist
I like working with the materials, exploring their inner nature, pushing their limits, combining them in unexpected ways, getting unorthodox results.
Making is always an important part of the process for me, when the initial ideas often morph into something different.
I love seeing the action of heat and pressure, creating something unexpected, like alchemy, hence my love for ceramic and glass.
