"This is not, strictly speaking, a mosaiculture piece. Rather, it is representative of a new trend, that of so-called ecological works: creations with an often ephemeral quality, made from organic materials and inspired by nature. The artist carefully selects the branches of wood that go into her sculptures so as to avoid the need to cut or otherwise alter them while still creating the desired effect. She can devote more than half a year to a single piece."
