About the Item
World-tree IV is a unique Smoke-fired stoneware and pigments sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 90 × 70 × 55 cm (35.4 × 27.6 × 21.7 in).
With the use of branches to represent trees or to "vegetalize" human and animal figures, Cécile Raynal has recently introduced the vegetal universe into her sculptures. World-tree IV alludes to Richard Powers' book "The Overstory", which is also known as "L'Arbre-monde" in French. The artist has looked into the world-tree theme multiple times. The piece of art was displayed at the Maurice Denis Museum in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, during the Rêves(s) de filles exhibition.
Cécile Raynal uses sculpture as a way of exploring the world, between documentary and fiction. Thus she often sets up her workshop in remote, forgotten or marginal places, that she goes over and then reconstructs in clay. A prison, a retirement home, a hospital, a convent, a cargo-ship… are among the places in which she invites the inhabitants to pose for her, so as to sculpt their portraits and capture these rare encounters.

- Tosca, Contemporary Bronze on Sandstone base SculptureLocated in WOOLLAHRA, AUArtist sculptor Taking her art from life and nature, Helena breaks down forms simplifying and playing with the uses of light and shadows. Sometimes staying true to a likeness, which is always the starting point, but sometimes her work will take on a much more abstract nature. Often she uses her experience as a graphic designer to create works with a digital starting point using flat plains that are then assembled into a 3d structure. Originally from the UK, Helena now resides and works in Sydney. Recently she has been working alongside Sculptor John Gardner. One piece that she was recently involved in was a commissioned 7 foot high cast bronze tree. They are presently collaborating on various other projects, as well as creating pieces individually.
