A collector friend commissioned me to cast a bronze. The foundryman applied a patina very close to the original savannah-colored earthen finish. For this large, somewhat "Egyptian" piece, I played on the contrast between the softness of the expression, the looks, the position of the hands, and the slightly rough rendering of the base and the stick-mounted loincloth.

Sophie Verger is a fairy who knows how to transform an emotion into an animal, a sensation, a felling in a recollected memory. She also suggests to us with a lot of humor a lovable identification with the animal model and beyond this observation the fact that in all her work, the child alone has its place with her, spontaneously capable of including the existence of the animal in her own fundamental values.
