I am a hollyhock plant 2
Caroline Kennerson – Ceramic, biscuit – 27 x 26 x 14 cm – 2023
The imprint of a plant world, frozen in eternity.
With Je suis végétal rose trémière 2 , Caroline Kennerson pays homage to nature in its most delicate and poetic form. Inspired by the graceful forms of a hollyhock leaf, the artist captures its essence through the finesse of biscuit ceramic. Each vein, each contour is carefully engraved, revealing the hidden patterns of plant life, almost like DNA filaments, a recurring signature of Kennerson's universe.
The texture and relief work on this piece bears witness to the encounter between the natural and the imaginary: the apparent fragility of the leaf contrasts here with the robustness of the material. The immaculate surface of the ceramic, a pure, matte white, reflects the light gently, highlighting the hollows and organic details.
Presented on a minimalist black base, the work seems to float, like a precious relic or a contemporary fossil. Je suis végétal rose trémière 2 whispers to us the silent history of the plant, inviting us to contemplate its fleeting beauty and to reconsider our connection with the natural world.
A sculpture that is both sober and expressive, ideal for collectors looking for an elegant and timeless piece.
