Information
This mixed-material sculpture was created by the artist Francois Piquet in 2008. The following description is provided by the artist and explores the meaning behind the piece: "The iron blades braided from this sculpture come from the former sugar factory Darboussier, where now stands the Memorial ACTe (Guadeloupe).The sculpture plastically reflects the emotion I felt discovering this piece of curtain in Darboussier dump. It made me think of disowned bride. She has a sex, but any possibility of maternity has been removed (breast, womb). Her child does not belong to her."
