Corail de Terre

Ground Coral #1 #2
2014
Synthetic Polyester Plaster
#1: 43,3 x 31,5 x 3,9 inches (110 x 80 x 10 cm)
#2: 39,4 x 31,5 x 3,9 inches (100 x 80 x 10 cm)

Produced during an artist residency at the Agricultural High School of Yvetot (Normandy), the ground coral series brings the sculptor's approach closer to that of a farmer. The earth of the fields which splits and fissures is thus seeded with polyester plaster, until infiltrating its least voids. Harvested, these new fruits of the earth can resemble coral and then constitute new fragments of territories with strangely familiar landscapes.
