The concept of balancing mass and weight is revealed through the use of gravity in the sculptural pieces. The three-dimensional object remains in a state of equilibrium and stability. (Equilibrate, destabilize, balance, counterbalance, stabilize). Weight is of primary importance for the balancing of the sculptural elements, calling forth not only the balancing of physical mass, but also the notion of psychic harmony. Without weight, there is neither elevation nor equilibrium. However, creating a situation in which gravitational forces are visibly called into play results in the experimentation of sculptural forms which both embody movement and reveal a potential risk : in an unstable state, they could collapse. Adapting the sculptural forms to gravitational pull leads to the search for a point of non-static convergence. It thus becomes possible to create sculpture that exploits the forces of gravity « hidden » within the materials used. The interplay of sculptural elements sust...
