Artist research creative practice (Christel Assante)

Christel Assante

Christel does sculpting out of possubly the most delicat materials possable, Egg shells. she uses dentist drills to be very precise and then thickens the shell (after a cautious clean) with colourless varnish, after that it is given patina, and then painted and varnished further to obtain a thick reinfirced layer. I realy like the intricate designs and how eligant she is in her working practices.
