Statement
Besides expressionistic painting and sculpting of the figure and portrait, I am recurrently drawn to geometric projects, probably by previous life experiences in engineering. I remain deeply amazed by labyrinths, ever since I discovered them when Charles Fontaine, then 90 years young, kindly sent me a booklet on the labyrinth at Chartres cathedral. This year, on the occasion of his 100th Birthday, I had to pay him here another tribute, this time by sharing some of the mental wanderings the human brain is capable of. My 13th labyrinth at 'Les Jardins d'Aywiers' (who gracefully support my labryrinthic work, thanks to Patricia Limauge) has also been a tribute to Charles. The text below is to be considered as part of the work, a rendering of these labyrinthic experiences.
