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

Alabaster (sculpture carved in a block called waste (due to its clefts) but so beautiful when you look at it closely

There are works that resonate within oneself and become difficult to finish, and event to put words on. Yet this is one of my most sensitive and accomplished works.
Two beings, male and female, become entangled. Two different and yet so similar fragilities. Lonely or altogether depending on the way you are looking at them... But are they really two different beings? Maybe just different feeling of the same being?

Originally it was a block of alabaster called "waste" of almost twice its volume, a lot of wreckage, water and earth ingress and then a terrible cleft. I love taking advantage of a stone's cracks and sublimate them. I used this cleft to embed these two beings one in another. Then I worked the curves till they become tense enough for the emotion to get sharp.
