« I’m inspired by many of the nature, landscapes, forms of rocks and roots...At the origin of my creations, there are long instants, crossed on the country and forested ways… taking for a walk the look and searching meeting… trying to forget concepts and prejudices to see better… My work often consists in emphasizing the slow work begun by nature… So, my sculptures are the witnesses of meeting between my imagination and the living of material… Travel allows me to get lighter...to make work my eyes, which don’t see anymore when they see too often...to enlarge my mind by confronting it with other manners of understanding and expressing the world... » |
