Je m&rsquo;appuie sur ma propre nature obsessionnelle, la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de verrouiller les faits et les id\u00e9es, mais aussi la possibilit\u00e9 de tout lib\u00e9rer, d\u2019ouvrir par un mouvement plus fluide, un mouvement qui am\u00e8ne un sourire na\u00eff sur le visage de celui qui porte le bijou.. J&rsquo;essaie souvent de changer ma fa\u00e7on de travailler, de plier ma volont\u00e9 \u00e0 des plaisirs moins rationnels, \u00e0 des plans moins pr\u00e9con\u00e7ues, de proc\u00e9der de fa\u00e7on moins tortur\u00e9e, mais, d&rsquo;une fa\u00e7on ou d\u2019une autre, je reviens toujours \u00e0 ces modes de fabrication, avec des mat\u00e9riaux les plus durs. Mon travail s&rsquo;appuie sur des id\u00e9aux parfaits, des harmonies math\u00e9matiques, des formes circulaires propres &#8211; enti\u00e8res et compl\u00e8tes. Mais tant de travail manuel signifie que ces formes parfaites ressemblent moins \u00e0 un dessin d&rsquo;ordinateur pr\u00e9cis, qu\u2019\u00e0 la perfection harmonique d&rsquo;une ouverture de fleur au soleil du matin &#8211; asym\u00e9trique, m\u00e2ch\u00e9e par les insectes, les compromis, et merveilleusement bancale. J\u2019ai espoir qu&rsquo;en faisant de telles formes pr\u00e9cises, fastidieuses \u00e0 la main, je pourrai aller vers la perfection de cette grandiose nature imparfaite dans laquelle nous vivons.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><em>Cet artiste a particip\u00e9 rue Paul Fort \u00e0 :<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>L&rsquo;exposition \u00ab\u00a0Au-del\u00e0 du pr\u00e9cieux, au-del\u00e0 des mers\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0en septembre octobre 2013<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.19paulfort.com\/galerie\/index.php\/2016\/06\/01\/exposition-au-dela-du-precieux-au-dela-des-mers-beyond-precious-beyond-the-oceans-sept-oct-2013\/\">&gt;\u00a0Lien vers l&rsquo;exposition<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Photos<\/strong><\/p>\n<h6><em>Necklace( 2013) &#8211; poly vestigial double chain \u00a0&#8211; ABS plastic, stainless steel \u2013 \u00a021mm x 21mm x 420mm<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6><em>Collier<strong> &#8211; <\/strong><\/em><em>Double chaine<strong> &#8211; <\/strong>Plastic Acier inoxydable<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean O&rsquo;Connell Cr\u00e9ateur de bijoux Born (1972).
