Between Earth and Water - 1997

“I looked at water flowing down the locks
At the reflections of the sky on the water
At this magnificent blue in time of drought
And at this luxuriant and lush verdure
I immediately imagined a floating sculpture
A first time for me
A know-how that I do not yet possess
An installation on the water
Large squares on a plastic mesh
Undulating with the passing of boats
The sound of water lapping like
The sound of waves tapping on the sculpture
The symmetry is accurate, natural
And all these plants growing around
Symbolize the earth descending into the water
The earth taking a walk”.
My dear friend Denis Mercier,
Thank you very much for your help, to tell my story poetically.
The sentences themselves took the form of the waves.
