Sculpture and Circular Economy:

Searching for coherence and constantly concerned by my environmental impact, I carve my sculptures in blocks of marble, granite and alabaster destined to be dumped. I often carve in old tombstones, forgotten stones or "waste'" blocks. Of course, this requires a very specific know-how, as these stones have suffered from time, knocks and frost... but it's an ethical, technical and aesthetic choice. # REUSE-REDUCE-RECYCLE

Camille and I... I'll have to tell you about it one day. Our two paths in life cross too often, too strangely and too regularly for it not to be obvious, but also for it not to force me to investigate a bit more. Because I haven't looked for them, I've even often wanted to avoid these coincidences, not to see them, that they don't exist. And yet, if we put the major dates of our lives in parallel... How many coincidences!
This artwork is inspired by Camille Claudel's L'âge mûr (Maturity), a sculpture full of sadness and desertion.
In my artwork, same movement. While turning around the sculpture, we see it getting older and older, as if it was the continuation of a chopped off life.
And I've followed the movement of Camille Claudel's sculpture. It is also as small as Camille one, even maybe more, and I tried to imagine what might have happended, 115 years later, Rodin is still missing... It's like the continuation of a life cut short.
