Kick in the stars
“Kick in the stars” is a light sculpture where natural non-woven silk from the Cévennes reveals a soft, lunar clarity. 1 beech branch, 2 silk cocoons, LEDs, black metal base. My work is a journey guided by matter and light. Silk is shaped in the Cévennes by silkworms, in a slow and organic process that deeply inspires me. My sculptures are cocoons of light, sensitive architectures that invite contemplation. This 120x270x64 cm work comes from the forests I crossed during my travels, from this immobile and living power which emanates from the plant. It is an attempt to translate the vibration of life, an act of commitment to inhabit the world with poetry and gentleness.

Piece handcrafted by the artist in France
Diane de Kergal is self-taught, her path having been built organically, guided by curiosity, observation and experimentation. From styling to painting, from painting to clay, from clay to construction, to wood, to metal… Each medium has taught him something, each of his artistic or artisanal practices having nourished the others. It is in this spirit of research that she continues to advance, now combining all her skills, her know-how and her materiality with her artistic eye. Since 2018, she has been creating pieces of furniture and sculptures, working with earth, wood, metal and paint, mixing craftsmanship and art, the refinement of gestures and the energy of pictoriality, control and letting go.
