The Beginning of the End

Dimensions: 65 x 95 x 140 cm

This garden gnome was moulded in clay according a sketch in the pose of Yves Klein’s Leap into the void.
Using lost wax casting it was transformed into aluminium, painted in selected colours with automotive paint. A stainless steel brace was engineered fitting to the place of installation.
