This soft, sensual sculpture hangs on the wall like lichen taking possession of stone or wood. Louise used clay from the Black Forest in Germany to model the fine flat leaf-like structures, which she likens to paper. The matt and powdery white aspect of the piece comes from its firing at 1050°C and subsequent dipping into a limestone-based preparation.

The piece reaches to the sky like a growing tree trunk. Crafting such a large piece from fine clay was not easy; Louise had to superimpose the layers in such a way as to create a good balance, exploring the unsteady moment between strength and fragility.

When creating this sculpture, Louise imagined an efflorescence, growing, opening, living. Beginning at its heart, she pinched and pulled pieces of clay to form the petals, then softened the surface with a paintbrush, moistening delicate areas before firing for eight hours at 1050°C.

This sculpture was created to be installed on a wall, just as a lichen taking possession of stone or wood. Louise used clay from the Black Forest in Germany to model the shape that stretches into fine lacework. Its matt and powdery finish was obtained by a 1050 °C firing and a subsequent dipping into a special limestone based preparation.

Coeur d’Automne aimed to take the poetic and natural forms Louise creates to a more mysterious direction, mirrors being related to literature, tales, and mythology. Louise assembled the ceramic petals on a coated wood frame searching for a harmonious composition.

Louise created these decorative panels by coating wood boards with clay in order to give them both texture and spontaneous movement. This was followed by a long and meditative process of composition, where she placed each ceramic element on the panels and fixed them individually with steel wires.

With the Bark series, Louise developed a different way to approach clay, scratching argil instead of stretching it. She also wanted to incorporate steel her work as a new material, finding an interesting dialogue between the two materials; one being white, delicate and powdery, the other being dark, strong and colder. Louise is always looking for the balance between delicacy and strength.
