Marguerite Humeau, Marchantia, The feeling of being entranced and unsettled by the vastness of the universe. The experience of a jolt of recognition that the night sky is not just a wallpaper but a deeply foreign ocean – that contains stars, and worlds. An invitation to a party that already ended a million years ago. Inspired by the plant Marchantia that bears the signature of an alien planet and stars forming from its green magma, 2022.Wax, sugars, mineral dust, glass, natural extracts, pigments, thermochromic pigments, plant-based and synthetic resin, nylon, bronze, work: 56 x 86.5 x 48.5 cm; overall: 151 x 86.5 x 48.5 cmCourtesy of the artist and CLEARING
