Marie Christophe Clam Shell

About the Item

If we had to summarize the work of Marie Christophe, we could argue that it is a marriage, a priori improbable, between sculpture and lightness. Lightness of the material used, the iron or brass wire, which unwinds in spidery shapes, floating in space, without ever invading it, this wire that Marie Christophe punctuates with luxurious elements such as crystal, or more modest ones like ceramics.Breaking down barriers between genres, Marie Christophe questions, through her fine silhouettes, the eternal problem of the limits between decorative art and sculpture.
