HEAVY WEAVY

In 1999 Therese Chotteau asked me to design a socle for her sculpture Le Porteur d'Eau in Louvain-la-Neuve.

It was, cut from a reclining plane of blue limestone, the translation in a precise geometry of the motif of flow.

While making the cardboard model, I made a photograph of an uncompleted state of it. What I saw there was like a minute model for a monumental concrete wall with an opening in the shape of a wing taking flight.

Associating this modest work with a title came next. Each title changed the meaning of the image, and rather than coosing I prefered to juxtapose four of them as four different images.
