Presentation

"In the forest, in the Ardennes, intrigued by something that seemed to be fossilized in the earth, I approached and discovered a shape that evoked a kind of prehistoric skeleton.

After much effort I succeeded in extracting it from the ground. It was in fact an old chain of mechanical devices which over time, carved its imprint in the roots, moss and pine needles... .

My fascination with archaeological figures, dinosaurs and the museums that commemorate them, inspired me to give new life to this fascinating past.

By assembling them, the desire to link all this to our time is established in me.

These prehistoric beings, who disappeared millions of years ago, are coming back to life again thanks to metal chains. "
