Statement: I like the encounter with my large relief forms and panels to be twofold: the first, seen from a distance; the second, more attentive, should reveal new surprises. The work has evolved from monumental or 'body scale' forms hanging from the ceiling or wall to a series of independent floor sculptures with biomorphic associations. These elements assume creature forms and evoke associations from our common unconscious memory with many layers of meaning. The substance of my work is an enjoyment and fascination with the beauty of large-scale tubular, flexible material, positive and negative space, texture and mass. The work reaffirms throughout a human scale and a characteristic sense of hopefulness. It is my pleasure of working with my hands.                                                                                                             Françiose Grossen
