Rodin | a study in motion
Joffrey Lamirault
“Rodin is the sculptor of hands—furious, clenched, rearing, damned hands”
— French critic and poet Gustave Kahn
A series of impressions on these hands sculpted by Rodin. Symmetrical, fractal, almost floral, in a perpetual and frantic rotation. The shine of light on bronze isolates sharp details carved by the sculptor, we discern sinew, muscle and wrinkles. A game of balance.
