The Lost TouchENThe Lost Touch is a collection focused on the representation of hands or hand fragments, with a strong emphasis on the grain of the material. The use of materials with a pronounced grain, or in contrast with a very smooth finish, reinforces a sensory experience that is both visual and tactile. Touch, the keystone of the collection, is represented as the imprint of a vanished moment — accentuated by the fragmentation of the pieces. Hands touching, searching, reaching out or resting.Everything revolves around the absence of the tactile encounter, yet the chosen materials make it intrinsic to the process all the while.FRThe Lost Touch est une collection autour de la représentation de mains ou fragments de mains, où le grain de la matière domine. L'utilisation de matériaux à grain prononcé, ou au contraire lisses, renforce une expérience sensorielle aussi bien visuelle que tactile. Le toucher, clef de voûte de la collection, est représenté comme l'empreinte d'un moment disparu (accentué par la fragmentation des pièces). Des mains qui se touchent, se cherchent, se tendent ou se reposent.Tout tourne autour de l'absence de la rencontre tactile, tout en la rendant intrinsèque au processus de part les matériaux choisis.The Pointer
