Coral made from the ground#1 #2

Polyester plaster
variable dimensions

Made during a residency at the agricultural college of Yvetot (Haute-Normandie), the "Coral made from the ground" series brings the approach of the sculptor that of a farmer.
Land fields that splits and cracks and is seeded with polyester plaster, to infiltrate its smallest empty.
Harvested, these new fruits of the earth can be likened to the coral and then fragments are new territories for the strangely familiar landscapes.
