Lives of Grass by Mathilde Roussel Roussel on her work: Lives of
Grass sculptures show the effects of transformation of the
material as a metaphor of the transformation of the body. Time
sculpts the forms, makes them change and then decay. The natural
world, ingested as food becomes a component of human being.
These sculptures strive to show that food, it’s origin, it’s
transport, has an impact on us beyond it’s taste. The power
inside it affects every organ of our body. Observing nature and
being aware of what and how we eat might make us more sensitive
to food cycles in the world - of abundance, of famine - and
allows us to be physically, intellectually and spiritually
connected to a global reality.
