Plywood, piano-wire, glass beads.

The studies for Heads gradually became Head-dresses. These are sculptures to wear, head ornaments and symbols of the head. In particular, I play with geometry, collapsing and folding circular planes or segments of rings, using piano wire and beads as a flexible mobile extension of the plywood shapes. I use beads for colour. The multiplicity and repetition of identical elements interest me because I see this as a mirroring of atomic structures and their interplay.
