How was this work conceived?

With my hands, a few machines and tools, and mainly copper.
I used to spend ages playing with shrimps in puddles in Brittany, and my very first shrimp sculpture was actually created for an exhibition in Brest, at the Passerelle art centre. It was an obvious choice for me, with its almost telescopic, cylindrical body and its coppery colour.

What is your favourite window?

I would say a Velux window – I wouldn’t call it my favourite, but rather the most memorable one from where I grew up, where I spent a lot of time daydreaming as a teenager, gazing out into the night for hours on end.
