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

Just a tear rolling down the cheek... IN CHAOTIC LANDS -

Bardiglio grey marble (Italy, carved in 2 old tombstones) - 2021
← Previous ← . . . . . → Next →

How could I have explained that I couldn't stop until a tear rolled down her cheek, until the mark left by this last year could be seen on her mouth, the concern on her forehead... while the sky gets reflected on the cracked ground.
Or daring to work the marble and its veins until stone and sculpture become a unique and new thing.
Combining the artwork and the marble block is one of my obsessions, especially in the case of Bardiglio marble. This marble veinure remind me a cloudy sky. And above all was this vein that I wanted to appear as a tear rolling down the cheek of this beautiful woman.
This artwork, like most of my sculptures, was carved in reused stone, in this case 2 old tombstones that were destined to the dump.
