About the Item

Altar sculpture by Lea Munsch Dimensions: W 27 x D 17 x H 45 cm Materials: Stoneware Each piece is signed and numbered on /20. Each piece is unique with its own personality and marks. Sand. As far as the eye can see, dune upon dune upon dune. How long had they been traveling, one foot in front of the other slipping, sinking with each step into the hot sand? In the sea of soft curves, an angle appears. They hike toward the form, up the slope of a dune, somehow uncertain of their own eyes. The shape is there, they stand above it now. The color of sand, but of some other material. Buried there gust by gust as the wind unfurls the sand across its own surface. Digging their fingers again and again along its edges, they begin to uncover the form. An ancient form, a strange form. Sand pours from vertical openings along its angular faces. A gathering of three pyramids. An artifact emerges from the sands of time. What message does it carry? Whose hands have cradled it next? Whose hands will it meet before? In what time are we? Sinking in to the hot sand. Léa Munsch explores its potentiality with an approach led by instinct and curiosity. She draws from nature to produce primarily unglazed pieces that reveal the inherent qualities of texture and color of their materials. From her studio, an ever- evolving cast of ageless forms emerges, sculptures born at the crossroads where art and architecture meet. The primordial link between Earth and clay infuses her practice. An ancient and instinctive bond that we can sense the presence in her work. She is interested in the cultures imagined by ancient civilizations long before the 0 of our era and prehistoric art for the strength of the link between art, life and nature. Like an archeological work, blurring the lines of time, her sculptures seem to come from an ancient future. Her practice also relies a lot onto instinct to give shape to an abstract, architectural, raw, textured and natural world. Léa Munsch lives and works in Lorraine, in eastern France, where she's taken over a space in a former factory perched on a river at the heart of a forest.
