LANDSCAPE SCULPTURES

LANDSCAPE SCULPTURES ...

Spirals of transparent energy crystallized by colored recycled glass joined by iron and lead threads.

“The image is the visual eye open to the Spirit, it becomes a reflection of the Interior ; microcosms & macrocosms, shadows & lights ... My research in this visual direction is where the alchemy ... the material metamorphoses, the alloy of the fire ... of the water ... of the air ... of the Earth ... of the metals is a never ending story ...” Maru

Millennium Lands, Water, Air, Fire... Porcelain !!!

STRUCTURE

Visual language composed with modules ... Pentagrams written in the space creating internal atmospheres, conducive to daydreaming, and external, such as trees of life under the magical lights of the sun and of the moon ... These pieces come in various sizes ranging from 67 cm x 40 cm and 200 cm x 80 cm … They live in freedom like musical notes ... Fields of alpine flowers … Enchanted forests ... Each teepee is composed of panels of twisted iron, bent in the shape of rods which are reversed and welded together … Glass pieces are then woven into an opened frame feathery forming a stained glass slightly suspended in its iron holder ...

RECYCLED GLASS

Crafts and ecological ... they are made from recycled bottles … Broken by thermal shock, recycled bottles then give life to glass tiles ... I make each artwork from the new pieces, carefully chosen, always looking for transparencies... textures ... depths ... in a perpetual discovery where the alliance of the fire is always unexpected and surprising ... to create atmospheres conducive to dreams ...

STAINED GLASS

Sculpture design gives them a three-dimensional dimension ... They are open so they create full or empty spaces ... such as plants foliage ... They can be moved in the space, in search of light ... while remaining accessible to the touch and to the contemplation at any time as they also benefit from artificial lighting ... The modules assembly is consistent with ancient techniques ... It consists of lead bars to partition and of tin bars for the soldering ... which becomes a source of interesting textures and contrasts ...

MARU’s STATEMENT

I am passionate about stained glass... I often go contemplate stained glass modules in abbeys ... churches and cathedrals of the Middle Ages … I also love glass and colored glass bottles ... One day, I was in the church of Ouche Conches, in Normandy (France), contemplating its beautiful stained glass modules from the 12th century, and to my amazement, I regretted the fact that I could not come closer ... Not being able to touch them … Not being able to recreating this magical atmosphere under those colored stained glass modules at home as I would need a glass roof ... Then I thought about my large collection of glass bottles, which was becoming pervasive at that time, and I decided to recycled them, I started creating my own glass tiles and building sculptures and stained glass modules whose contact and manipulation are less restrictive ... My thoughts were quickly flowing into design ... The structure of trees with their translucent leaves ... feathery ... opened to illustrate my desire to create full and empty spaces where the dynamic fluidity of life is a priority ... I then distributed in the workshop to implement all these ideas ... Since then, my artistic search flows in this direction, where the alchemy ... the materials metamorphoses, the alliance of the fire ... water ... air ... earthenwares ... metals is a never ending story ... Now I get bottles thrown on the sidewalk ... in the gardens ... in public places to recycled them into daydreaming drops ...

... feathery ... translucent ...

... magical lights ...

... alpine flowers ...

... like drops of dreams ...

... perpetual journey of life ...
