Well, this one is cardboard! (unlike my last blog post) I am mesmerised by the artworks of French sculptor Eva Jospin. She carefully crafts, layer by layer, amazing installations depicting dense forests, classical architecture and undulating terrain.

Jospin has been creating these artworks for over 15 years, immersive experiences and installations that captivate the viewer. Notably she created Panorama at the Cour Carrée du Louvre and Cenotaph at the Abbey of Montmajour. Straying from her usual cardboard, Jospin has also created an intricate and breathtaking series of embroidery panels for the Dior Spring/Summer 2023 fashion show.

I came across her works recently at Ignant, where Eva Jospin has been sharing about her recent project, capturing the region of Champagne for Maison Ruinart, slice by slice.

It's fascinating stuff. Jospin says "With my artworks, I don't tell a story. I create a world in which the story takes place and lives."

The geography of Jospin's work I find very appealing, she says "I see things in stratification; I see things in layers. That's how I build my imagination".

Lovely work that helps the viewer feel like an archaeologist, discovering hidden worlds, or like they are lost in a story book, gingerly stepping deeper and deeper into the woods.
