In an
extraordinary act of devotion to his art, sculptural artist Spencer
Byles spent a year creating beautiful sculptures out of natural and
found materials throughout the unmanaged forests of La Colle Sur Loup
(where he lived with his family), Villeneuve Loubet and Mougins. He
worked together with elements of his natural surroundings to create
artwork that blends seamlessly with the environment.
Byles’ project is intentionally
secretive – the only way you’ll see these work short of his photos is by
going into the woods and finding them yourself. I imagine that coming
upon such a fantastic structure unexpectedly in the woods is sure to be
quite a magical surprise.
One of the most beautiful things about
his work is its temporary nature. The pieces were not intended to last,
and each sculpture will eventually be reclaimed by the natural
environment that helped Byles shape it. This full circle gives the
organic pieces a powerful poetic and philosophical touch.
