Sculpture
Sculpture
Creating sculpture is for me both a longstanding temptation and something I have long dreaded. Yet the power of three-dimensional shapes courses through my veins. The figures I paint appear to me first in a sculptural form, before I lay them onto canvas. Beneath the figures lies a physicality that I strive to render alive. To create three-dimensional objects, I used my painting materials — gesso, canvas, pigments — and draped dynamic folds: my sculpture La vague (The Wave) amounts to a painting suspended in the air, skipping its normally flat, hard base. Although I started sculpting light-heartedly, the outcome has taken me slightly beyond that point, now presenting a potential future.
