The space is animated by the psychological force of their precise gestures. The gesture of the director is imperative and embodies her concentration on her art, on the other hand the extra is tentative which reflects his precarious situation. The representation of the naked actor without irony or pomp sets him apart from the canons of beauty of classical art.

The effigy is developed from a model constructed like a garment made up of hundreds of pieces of cardboard transposed in Corten steel for the final work. The children, for their part, are modeled in wax and then cast in bronze.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"692\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.stephenschofield.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loups_03-1024x692.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stephenschofield.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loups_03-1024x692.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.stephenschofield.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loups_03-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stephenschofield.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loups_03-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.stephenschofield.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loups_03.jpg 1115w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The intimate theatre: A stainless steel structure resting on the platform takes on the function of a plinth that supports the giant shapes of two pairs of hands. The spectator who enters the structure realizes that the shapes of the hands are really shells that reveal inside all the details of children&#8217;s hands translated on a larger scale or from a different point of view, the works are moulds of hands. The hands are pierced with several openings that let natural light penetrate in an array of beams into this mysterious inner space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.stephenschofield.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loups_04-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stephenschofield.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loups_04-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/blog.stephenschofield.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loups_04-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blog.stephenschofield.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loups_04.jpg 756w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Balancing Act: The work depicts a young girl balancing herself on one hand on the end of an aluminum pole. Both playful and athletic, her movement changes according the viewers position and thereby suggests contemporary dance. Her legs and her free arm seem to be pointing all of the other works. Although she is dressed differently; he viewer will realize that she is the director turned on a ninety-degree axis.
