About The Artwork
Egg is a perfect natural shape : this sculpture/installation is probably inspired by "Le commencement du monde" from Brancusi. Three eggs carved in black Belgian marble, white Carrara marble and serpentine stone. Each one has got a navel so their surface is belly-like : this is to emphasize the importance of transmission beetween living beings (egg + umbilical cord) The egg forms are different : the white marble egg is the only one with an almost normal egg shape, the black marble egg is rough at one end and the green one is partly hollow. The title comes from a verse of XVIth century French poet Pierre de Ronsard : "La forme en une autre s'en va / When a form disappears into another" The eggs are on display on three wood chunks with a coating of beeswax on one side. Serpentine stone is a beautiful (shades of) green stone, this one comes from South East France, an ancient quarry not far from Saint Tropez. Marbles come from Carrara Various dimensions according to the place of exhibition The whole set (eggs + wood chunks) weighs roughly 92kg

France
I currently live and work in Toulouse, SW France, the region where I was born in 1963.. Trained as a scientist I practised for some time as a part-time veterinary surgeon. As a self-taught artist (thanks to all those who helped and guided me), my first works were marble and bronze sculptures of wild animals - my ambition at the time was to produce objects of beauty. Then my scientific background and a better knowledge of art history drove me to explore the living and artistic worlds more deeply, together with the need to “use” animals to represent various facets of human behaviour. Thus appeared animal, anatomical and organic figures for which metamorphosis and hybridization are often central themes. While I like to work with different mediums and materials depending on my creational purpose, wax has come to predominate for me in both sculpture and painting. I also currently work with artist Luc Laumet, one notable example being our recent Drawing correspondence: 260 drawing exchanged beetween 14 December 2016 and 5 December 2017 http://pierrefauret.com/dessins-croises/ ....................................................................................
