"Her favorite material is bronze, but other materials such as stone, quartz or glass are mixed in, offering textures full of possibilities. For some time now, the artist has been adding an element of jewelry to her pieces, with gold and silver plating (she uses twenty-four carat gold leaf, among other things). This new technique brings both a coloring effect to the sculpture and an additional preciousness approaching that of a jewel." Luxery Magazine, January 2011, Nicole Taillon: Le succès retentissant d’une sculpteure de bronze"
Kelowna…See with your heart
Description: A farewell at the end of a quay… a farewell that never ends. A character standing, a bird on
shoulder, stretches out his hand far away, in farewell. He holds his heart on the tip of his finger. Instead
of his heart, left there, far behind, a hole, in the shape of a heart… The departure left him
incomplete, torn.
Anecdote: I made this sculpture after returning from a trip to the beautiful city of Kelowna, where I
would not hesitate to settle down… Treatment: Bronze on granite base patinated with copper nitrate for the clothing and bracelets, iron nitrate for the skin. The hair is blueish. The bird has a white patina. Series of eight and four artist's proofs. » Nicole Taillon
The Wind in the Wings
Description: Joyful, a young angel woman prepares to follow her star. As for a sail
of a boat, she holds the tip of her wing in order to trap the wind and accelerate her
flight. Confident and happy, she has her arms wide open and is already no longer touching the
ground, the right foot on its lucky star. A large ribbon underlines its grace and fluidity.
Anecdote: This sculpture exudes a lot of grace. If it were small, it would have benefited, perhaps, from
be more voluminous… but it softens.
Treatment: Bronze. Black character with blue hair and wings. The embellishment on his head as well
that the star are mirror polished. The ribbon, also mirror polished, is nickel plated which
gives a gray-white effect." Nicole Taillon
