Villeneau uses a variety of making processes – coiling, soft slab work, extruding and pinching – to produce work that conjures ideas of the body, evoking the visceral, whilst also suggestive of landscape, fossilised remains or a relic of a bygone age – familiar, yet strange, uncomfortable, intriguing. The work is highly textured with impressed patterns and embedded material in the clay, and decorated with a volcanic engobe and satin matte glazes. Villeneau often adds other materials post-firing. The work is fired to 1260c in an electric kiln.
