Très bien vu le retournement, c'est vrai que ça donne un air encore plus mystérieux et abstrait !!
Je pense revenir sur les lieux du crime, je vais garder cela à l'esprit

Quand je travaille dans l'abstrait je fais toujours des essais de miroir et de rotation, cela aide beaucoup à voir les défauts mais aussi à trouver la meilleur composition

Je commence également à avoir ce réflexe, mais là clairement je n'ai pas eu l'intuition d'essayer

Ça doit faire plus de 15 ans que j'utilise la technique du miroir pour la composition, du coup chez moi c'est le réflexe complet

I love how you referred to it as "a concrete love story". Being a concrete worker myself, I can truly appreciate the complexity of such a construct, probably more so than a lot of folks viewing this. I have to say that I love this piece. The color and texture capture is just amazing. I do have to admit that were I to try to build the forms for such a work it would probably drive me absolutely nuts but it is certainly a fun concept to ponder. This certainly inspires strength and longevity, something to withstand the test of time and elements and withstand it well.

Hi and thanks a lot for your insightful comment ! It is nice to have a different point of view on such things.
I didn't know anything about concrete work and captured this mainly from an aesthetic point of view, enjoying the shapes and textures in this. Your comment add even more interest to it !
Thanks a lot !!

My pleasure. The shapes and textures were one of the big surprises to me when I first go into this line of work. Before, I had never really paid attention to those things. But after the first time I dealt with stripping form boards off of a freshly poured/hardened wall I realized how much detail was taken from the wood and left indelibly etched into the concrete. It's like a photo negative of all it comes in contact with, immortalized in a medium stronger than the original. So for me, seeing the wood grain in the narrower "slats" above gave me a better insight into the creation of the structure. Everyone else sees it as it is now, a finished work, but I get to see it as it's being created AND the finished product, the mental image of both stages there in my minds eye in 3 dimensions for me to enjoy throughout the whole process. Your fascination with the textures and perfect capture of them has produced a result that may not have been wholly intended but is indeed very profound. Keep up the excellent work, especially the details. You never know what meaning those details may hold or secrets they unlock.
