CATHERINE LAUDA
these items came from my desire to nourish our daily lives, to enhance life with scintillating colours, to give our dreams,
a vision with a happy halo...
my hands dance between the material and the imagined,
unifying nature and culture…
I like the movement of light through glass rooted in its solidness…
I like to play with shapes that are naive in appearance with symbolic meaning revealing our deep secrets…
I like to create small delicious treats for the eye that speak about the beauty and the generosity of the life…
