From addition to extraction. From ceramic to sculpture and, taking it one step further, to jewellery. From grandeur to the delicacy of small things. Pilar Marsà embarked on a voyage which first began by adding material to her ideas, making pieces and moulds that allowed her to discover that she preferred extracting and getting rid of all that is in excess until the shape from the inner materials emerges; from wood, the material she likes working with the most. Wood, connecting us with nature, alive, latent, always ready to be part of the life cycle.
