Catalogue Note

From February 1966, this same writing transformed itself independently of my will, or even against it, into a more and more anthropomorphic figure, a human torso. At first imperceptibly, then more and more consciously after 1970, I tried to intervene, to underline the emerging aspect of these erect bodies.
