EXHIBITION AT CATHERINE HOUARD PARIS
EGGS
More than just a collection, Each EGG houses one or more characters and their destiny, resting on a spiral that gives its motion. This alliance between apparent stillness and the perpetual movement of the spiral embodies the very essence of the human journey, balancing equilibrium and transformation.
Born from a desire to dive deeper into intimacy with her art, these pieces were meticulously crafted and designed in the sanctuary of her studio. Differing from her usual momentous scale, at 80 cm, these EGGS confront the viewer on a human scale, forcing an intimate connection to the individual.

They are each unique, crafted by the artist from steel and finished with a glaze of her own creation. Most are covered with a mysterious black patina, while one piece is painted a flamboyant red.
Continuing on this intimate journey and exploring a further reduction in scale, a jewelry series was born. Crafted from precious gold and silver and varying in size, these oval pendants attack at the very essence of human destiny. Some represent a single soul, while others represent two or three. What form will your life take?
Art Basel Miami
Making its debut in Paris, at the Saint Germain Galerie Catherine Houard, in an exhibition space transformed into a realm of shadows. To approach the art a viewer would descend down a staircase into a void to discover 20 EGGS in the dark, perched upon white columns, centered by candlelight. This artistic choice enabled ever-moving shadows to be cast at the bottom of the sculptures as they are susceptible to slight movement, making it a truly immersive experience.
The pieces are now distributed amongst different collectors.
