Description: Eau vive 2 was initially prepared in 2014, then left unfinished, awaiting an opportune moment for completion. With the vocabulary developed for Eau vive 3, then La peau du monde, the 3-D assembly was embarked upon in 2018, with finishing touches in 2019.
This is Sabine Cibert’s most monumental work, covering a surface of over 9 sq.m.
Myriad shades of blue tumble down a steepening slope in scenery spreading over the entire surface, where shade and light meet.
The three layers are secured together with quilting through a silk core along broken lines that follow the slanting curves.
