In the context of the exhibition at La Fraise Gallery she shows three wallsculptures made of swiss antic wood. |
These wall sculptures are built from antique wood. Antique wood, is the wood marked by time and environment, treated without chemicals, kept natural and clean. This wood comes from a spruce that grew at 1300 meters above sea level, in the swiss mountains. Then this wood was used as a stable to shelter the animals on the alp for more the 100 years.
