Idol 166
Metal sculpture steel body and glass paste
Philippe Buil

Metal and glass sculpture representing an idol. This sculpture is made of steel lace and pâte de verre.

Metal lace is obtained by dripping molten steel drop by drop, ensuring that each sculpture is unique. The glass paste is created by melting glass in a mold.

Emerging from the depths of our archaic memories, this idol looks at us from atop its 5000 years. Originally made of stone, reproduced many times, it inspires in my hands a form of inspiration and humility. So ancient and so modern, timeless, feminine, it enhances metal lace or glass paste. A meeting with its collective past and a creative vision of the future that allows savoring the present moment.
