Sculpture

"La liseuse" (bronze) was commissioned by the town of Gap from sculptor Cyril De la Patellière. "A plaster model on clay, enlarging and working on the model for eight months, a first cast in resin, sent to the Carrara foundry in Italy, then casting and working on the bronze for seven months", for a unique piece in bronze with a green patina (height 1.55 m, width 0.70 m, depth 1 m) "sitting" on the curbstone of the water fountain in Place Alsace-Lorraine. In this work of fiction, she "reads" the history of the town of Gap (a work published under the auspices of the Société d'études des Hautes-Alpes).
