Suite Cone PyrometriquesSummer, 2014
Hayden Lake, Idaho, USA Based on an invented family magic bird mythology, pyrometric cones commonly used inside her father's ceramic kilns to monitor temperature are staged in a series of mini ephemeral land art installations entitled Suite cone pyrometriques. Unfired, the cones are straight and colored; once-fired, they melt in different shapes and turn white. Photographed, they find evocative shapes and new roles as sculptural objects, forming scenes of a larger project Tremblay calls Madeleine's minerals, a Proustian body of work including fired and unfired ceramic pieces and photographs. |
