Poudre aux yeux

This is a wall sculpture which, like the objects of curiosity of the 16th and 18th centuries, is intended to arouse wonder and questioning. The material contains fragments of beetle elytra, by inclusion and crimping. It is a reference to objects from the world of decorative arts, made of ivory or mother-of-pearl marquetry.
