Au Feu! (2011)

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Match Girl, the work explores a child’s curiosity about fire, alongside the caution it demands.

The sculpture takes the form of an oven, built from handmade bricks. An opening positioned at a child’s height invites young visitors to feed the oven with fuel of their choosing.
