This turned-wood sculpture was made for an exhibition of funeral urns. Once the wood had been turned, it was sculpted and then coloured with paint and crayons. The design of the urn recalls the shape of natural shells, inspired by their prehistoric presence on earth – a living house, a paradox for a funeral urn.
