Francine Gourguechon

The mosaic sculptures I create are a culmination of artistic and intellectual personal interests. The materials I use consist of art glass, sea creatures, bullet shells, ball bearings, semi precious stones, glass eyes, rubber strapping and other materials I source from a million different places and is an integral part of my art making process. The forms pertain to the body such as a torso, head, chest and chosen for their inherent beauty of shape and intriguing presents. The human body as art and body decoration appears in every culture and is used for seduction, ritual, social standing and threat. My body art sculptures are inspired from this cultural phenomenon and the forms and materials that surround me in my studio.
