With their unrefined edges and mottled brown hue, Jacques Monneraud's stoneware pieces are designed to confuse and amuse.
Monneraud plays with the idea of subverting a material which is meant to be functional and temporary into a medium that will hopefully last thousands of years. Closely resembling the packaging in which they are shipped, photographs of the pieces are also often mistaken for AI renderings. Based in France, Monneraud, who has a background in graphic design and grew up around painting and woodworking, often makes the prototypes in cardboard which he then mimics in clay. Final touches include the addition of corrugated edges and painted strips of translucent glaze to resemble cellophane tape.
