« Revealing a state of mind, the house is the image of the people who live in it.
It
shelters our memories, our forgetfulness, our insconsciousness, everything is lodged there like
so many chosen objects, pampered, maintained, bequeathed, inherited, which inevitably end up
undergoing the erosion of time.
The images of the house are as much in us as we are in it, like a mutual, invisible imprint.
As much by its external aspect as its interior, the house says an intimacy.
Our attention is brought here on what the walls contain: the interior of the chrisalyde, cocoon without window, where the objects which remain there dialogue in the shelter of the glances. »

ⓒ Gijs MiliusThe Romanesque church of Saint Pierre de Xhignesse housed a remarkable sculpture of Saint Anne of the Trinity, probably made in the 16th century. The mother of the Virgin Mary is carrying her daughter who is herself carrying the baby Jesus. Stolen in 1980, this sculpture is still sought by Interpol.
This mise en abyme leads to anti-naturalist representations where Mary appears as young as Jesus or even the same age as his mother.
That inspired me to create an archaic organic version of this trinitarian vision. Thus, "Flesh and Blood" is a sculpture in three parts. The vertical base supports a second body which in turn supports a horizontal porcelain bone covered with a wax skin.
