Ernest (2023) Sculpture by Cambrousse

CAMBROUSSE : some wild and well-forested remote area.

Down in that swamped corner of this woodland
even wood chisels ought to wrestle with the unremitting mud.

Behind the gypsyich tissues stroking the rear of a caravan
the inspiration navigates around any voodoo vibration lurking out in the drizzle
for the sake of the primitive and the essential.

I would carve every wooden mask from the same chunk of dead wood, If I could
and keep it that way for keeps
before I see the last of those wood chips.

Rushed in a tight corner of this valley eaten up by the nothern agro-industrial desert, on one part
and some ravenous logistics platform, on the other
the Cambrousse esthetic sculptural approach stands out as plain and naive

I picked up the Cambrousse name in honour of a tormented valley
who turned into a free pesticidal waste dump over the past decades.

In that very last plot of woodland the topsoil seems almost nomad as the blossoms look tzigane.
precious and bewitching as a tottering tree stump caught up in plain mayhem.
