Catarina Nunes studied ceramics at ESAD in Lisbon, and later took a master's in fine art in Tokyo under master Kimpei Nakamura. She also studied ceramic and glass design at the University of Central England in Birmingham. “I chose ceramics because I was in love with this material," she says. “It was very mouldable but at the same time it had a life of its own. That, for me, triggered a line of conceptual thinking about the material and its possibilities, which developed from thinking about the changes of the material, and the relationship of this material with our body, with our desires, with our expectations of it.”
