Son esprit
suspendu, 1993

Homage to Camille Claudel: superb young woman in the triumphal brilliance
of her genius and beauty. Camille defied Paris 1880 to become a
female sculptor. Her compelling love for Auguste Rodin led her through
ecstasy, to torment, to "exploration and the crushing, squelching
of the artist".
30 years of creation, 30 years of asylum for the insane.
