Beaucoup à dire sur Under the wave - notre suite d'oeuvres créée pour le Domaine de Saint-Ser en réponse à la beauté crue du site et à l'histoire (géologique et humaine) qui marque ce vignoble au pied de la Sainte Victoire... Mais on va tenter de laisser parler les images.
Who needs Cézanne when you've got gethan&myles? That's almost certainly what Mme Guichot the lovely owner of the Domaine Saint Ser said when she asked us to create works for this stunning vineyard at the foot of Mont Sainte Victoire. The result is Under the wave: a suite of four sculptures that respond to this harshly beautiful landscape, the wine that it yields and the history (both human and geological) that has sculpted it. There's a lot to say about these works, but it's probably best saved for a late night and a bottle of their Cuvée de l'Hermite...
