Descriptif du lot

The materials that I use in my work are mostly idea driven ... 'Toys' is made of nickel coated brass. A group of objects a plane, a car and a sprung ball are essentially enlarged toys but in a serious and heavy material.

It gives me a great freedom to use toy element in the making of my art to address some serious issues in a lighter and ironic way. There is an effort to amplify the magical power of these obsessive objects (car, plane) in this work.
