French artist Armel Barraud weaves wonderful wall hangings and sculptures from wire. Inspired by traditional, international spindle lace-making techniques, she 'draws' animals, people and scenes using silver and metal thread.
Reinterpreting classical themes, Barraud's 'wall whispers" (mur, mur), depicting characters floating up to heaven in hot-air balloons, laundry women, virgins and moon-men, are sheer poetry, designed for individual homes, walls and surfaces. I love the idea that her wire work evolves, playing with light and shadow, changing and telling its story throughtout the day.
Her work will be on show at Vanves Theatre, Paris, until 22 November.
