Marie Serraris Sculptor

White Blues and Poetry from the sixties

The sculpture 'N.T.97' (1997) looks like a black egg out of which a yet unfamiliar new lifeform is being born. It stands on a socle of hardstone from Vinalmont, created during a seminar for sculptors in Fumal, Belgium, in september 2008.

'Alpha Omega' is about birth and death: the beginning and end of time and space of life on earth.

'Primavera': Do you remember an initial stage of your life inside an Egg?!

'Earthling': for God (seeds), Nature (tree family) and Ritual (sacrificial bowls).

'Moondog': Our Universe being held by a Great Big Bone ...

'Hawking' is a message of Fare Well for the decease of a Loved One: the Garuda Bird carries his Spirit safely through a black hole, on his way to the spirit world..

A 'Little Green Man' from Mars perhaps, is looking up and above anxiously in his hunched egg-position (see 'Mesmerising').

'Greetings from the Past, Wink to the Future': a Vista to the Past and to the Future from the perspective of the Viewer standing in the Present.

'Crea' shows that the first shape that comes out of the prime shape of the Ball is a straight round line. To emphasize the Beauty of this Creative Process I decorated the Line with Tibetan Roses (engraved).

In 'Dark Time' a star explodes, leaving a spiraling trajectory of debris in space, and a surprising black hole in the middle!

The original Idea for a 'Book' came from 3D perceptions! We transferred our Ideas in it with a 'Pencil'

'N.T. 2000' is a sculpture made of two elements with red, of different kinds of stone: black marble and bluestone. They can be positioned in various ways. When repositioned they tell a different story or change the angle of what's related

'Cracking Gloss' is another stone which I cleaved: inside there is a layer which is pitch black, as opposed to the crystal in 'Poetry of the Stone'

'N.T. 1999' is of grey marble and shows a history with high thrones and agreeable surroundings

'Pièce de Résistance' is a stone with deep cracks, which I elevated and accentuated, as they mark the scars accumulated during our stay on planet Earth. The womblike shape in the middle promises differently!

In 'Ode to Literature' we see an inverted schoolbench, a blackboard and writings everywhere!

'N.T. 1998' shows that the light shining from within comes from the outside (energy). What shines from us as it passes through, will travel as far as Space!

'StoneSound, Soundstone' is an elongated, hollowed out sculpture of bluestone with which I composed a sound composition. We (with the great help from a friend who is a musical computerartist) seperated the recorded sounds into pitches, and arranged a soundstream flowing from the lowest to the highest audible sound for humans. 'StoneSound, SoundStone' brings forth pregnant sounds. With Audio when viewed

'Archè Gonè' was created in black marble. The title is Greek for the first conception: Light!

There was a shiny crystal layer inside 'Poetry of the Stone' which became visible after cleavage. If it would not have been subjected to daylight, it would still shine. But the daylight turned it yellow and the sparkle was lost. I made a new sculpture of the stone ('Greetings from the Past, Wink to the Future)

'City Tree' shows how the trees had to make way for concrete, to build a tram tunnel through the centre of the Hague

'Torso', the Essence or Heart endures while the body sags with time

'Collarbone': that which connects the original to a totally worked out and finalised shape

'Neptune, the Blue Planet', is in an astrological sense associated with an important planet in my father's chart. It shows his influence: with a solid square base, as a foundation for spiraling growth, twirling into the softness of wing-like wood

In 'Mesmerising' an oval shape materialises for Introspection

'Totem' shows our original good intentions
