Geometrical
Dances

This series was initiated at the Atelier Calder after recreating and painting Calder’s geometric door elements on one afternoon. 

The next morning, I was ready to start the memorisation of the elements with wire to create sculptures, but when I arrived in the studio, the geometrical elements were not dry yet.

In order to dry them, I unravelled a long paper on the floor and started to move each geometrical element one by one. It was as if the geometrical shapes where dancing on the paper, printing their dance directly on it, when I realised that it was like a “Geometric Dance”.
