La photographie et la sculpture

For me, the true judge of a work of art, especially a sculpture, is the curious, smiling, and interested gaze of a child.

Pour moi, le vrai juge d'une oeuvre d'Art, a fortiori une sculpture, c'est le regard curieux, souriant et intéressé d'un enfant.

Why Am I Sculpting a Medusa?

She is the most terrifying figure of Antiquity. She has snake-like hair and a gaze that petrifies. She is also an idea, one of the most represented characters in art, dating back 1,800 years. She remains a vivid and ever-evolving figure. The first mention of this mythological character appears in Homer’s work in the 8th century BCE, where she is referred to as the Gorgons.

What Hands Can Do

Ce que peuvent faire les mains

Le polissage est une étape indispensable. Elle enlève les traces de machines et donne à la sculpture le geste de la main. C'est long ! C'est peu créatif mais, imperceptiblement la sculpture se transforme.
