Au départ, une commande mais aussi une plaque d'albâtre avec une veinure incroyable...
Obssessed with transparency, loving the vein, challenged technically too, in order to achieve my transparency goal, I plan to lighten and lighten the stone til it was less than a centimetre thick. And finally arised the right occasion where to combine technique and modernity for Louise's 30th birthday. I worked combining the face features with the stone veines in order to give a true modernity, almost an abstraction sense to this project. And then, of course, I had to build the necessary electrical installation to light up the sculpture.
I find amusing to say this sculpture is an example of "enlightened academism"... I love its transparency and that incredible feeling as soon as it's lit. But I can't forget that this slab and its beautiful veine was expected to be wrecked and used as whitening toothpaste abrasive.
