Pierre Votive
sculpture - 2019
A tyre studded with nails, a honeycombed bronze “stone”, a pedestal topped with a high transparent glass cover, this sculpture is intriguing with its assemblage of heterogeneous objects. It depicts a ritual: making a wish by driving in a nail, here in a tyre, like the promise of happiness to come. This rubber halo protects a unique bronze piece reminiscent of sacred objects. Surrealist, it illustrates the beliefs of a society with disturbed benchmarks and changing values.
Tyre, nail, stool, glass bell, bronze. 75 cm in diameter x 59 cm high
