This work comes from an encounter.
For the construction of a fountain my family purchased a huge larch trunk. The bark that covered its entire surface was still fresh, so it hadn't been cut long. His skin seemed to keep him still alive, like armor.
What do you do in these cases? A sculpture would see a shape, a carpenter with perfectly planed planks.
That huge trunk on the lawn seemed to me a dying animal, still throbbing, like a cold-blooded reptile that continues to move even if cut in half.
160 circles. 1951
As I slowly removed all his bark with the hatchet, his wet skin once it begins to air.
He gave me everything. And I took it all.
Its bark, its thin skin, its trunk, its tincture.
There is nothing to add, the next step is to showcase every part of it donated. Make his sacrifice sacred, his arrival.
