Sophie Manessiez

Tissages de porcelaine is a wall-mounted exhibition featuring a body of work in which I hand-weave thousands of porcelain discs using delicate or colourful threads. This patient gesture forms vibrant structures that explore connection—familial, social, geological, and mnemonic.

Each piece explores the tension between individuality and interdependence, between rootedness and rupture. Inspired by nature, inner landscapes, and memory, my work reveals an unfamiliar material: fluid, suspended porcelain. The compositions shift with light, distance, and perspective, offering an intimate and ever-changing sensory experience. This work makes the invisible visible, offering a quiet meditation on what connects us.

Here, I present seven pieces from this evolving body of work—some framed, others suspended, and possibly accompanied by new additions that continue to explore connection as raw material, and the meticulous gesture as language. Each piece acts as a fragment of a living archive, a topography of our bonds, a landscape woven from memory, presence, and resonance.
