I am a vegetable
Caroline Kennerson – Ceramic, biscuit – 46 x 48 cm – 2023
A monumental leaf, between sculpture and poetry.
In Je suis végétal , Caroline Kennerson transforms a simple leaf into a sculptural work that celebrates the discreet majesty of the plant world. This large-scale piece, precisely shaped in biscuit ceramic, evokes both the delicacy and the indelible imprint of life. The veins engraved in the material form a network of organic lines, like secret cartographies of nature or buried DNA structures, the artist's emblematic signature.
The softness of the biscuit ceramic, with its natural and matte tones, enhances the reliefs while creating a subtle play of shadows and light. Seen up close, the work reveals an almost scientific refinement, while its imposing silhouette, with its irregular contours, gives it an appearance that is both raw and graceful.
Kennerson invites us here to contemplate the often forgotten wonders of plants: their structure, their fragility, but also their resilience. The piece, placed on its minimalist base, becomes a silent hymn to nature and its mysteries, capturing a moment suspended between the ephemeral and the eternal.
A striking sculpture that will bring a poetic and contemporary presence to any space dedicated to art.
