What Is The Batter On A Retaining Wall

CCBA


Project Warm Heart Bois d'Aquitaine as a starting point an old part, carried for my diploma in 2004.
This sculpture, in a teepee, was the result of experience erection of a shape with a minimum of material. To bring good luck to work, I was part of a sketch of purified horseshoe was crowned this construction, then, by testing in the workshop, that is ultimately what horseshoe assembled the cleats, and gave This form of "twisted" in motion, the tepee.

In the context of the Forest of Contemporary Art, I imagine this sculpture updated as a kind of fetish, brings happiness to the devastated forest, as a symbol of the fragility of verticality of the forest, both face the clearcuts, only the storm.

Beginnings, a sculpture student at a human scale that plays on the balance, and after a few years transformed into a monumental sculpture made of _ and resistant materials outside taking into consideration the context of this forest and first position away from the viewer is _ an important step in my practice.

I wish to keep a little mystery around this project and did not unveil a number of essential elements, so that the viewers have the possibility of early experience sculpture.
