"Log Through Cement"
Artist: Christopher Casanova
Paris, France 2001
Dimensions: Concrete slab is 4' x 6'
Materials: Fallen tree, concrete, and steel.
It is a little funny how much a 4' x 6' slab of concrete weighs. This sculpture was made for an exposition at a cultural space outside of Paris. I poured the slab on site, and I had a really challenging time getting the mass of concrete from horizontal to vertical. As often times is the case, I was working alone, with pry bars, timbers, and a chain attached to a car. "Log Through Cement" was transported and set up three times before it took permanent residence in the front yard of a client's home in Rueil-Malmaison, France.
