Eliane Saheurs

The furors of geological forces inside the earth's crust create new organic and geometric forms and intricate spaces. Geometrical relicts of crystal symmetry emerge; volcanic eruption, weathering and fragmenting transform the rocks and minerals into new structures and mysterious landscapes; vivid colours arise from layers of oxidations and erosion. 

Le tumulte des forces sous la surface de la terre crée de nouvelles structures de formes organiques et géometriques ainsi que d'espaces complexes. Des vestiges de la symétrie crystallographique emergent. L'éruption volcanique, l'érosion et la fragmentation transforment les roches et minéraux en de nouvelles structures et de nouveeaux paysages mystérieux. Les couleurs des couches d'oxydation et de l'érosion deviennent lumineuses.
