L'An Deux-Mille

Letter cutting on stone

2025

About

During a workshop led by Rodolphe Giuglardo, I had my first experience with letter cutting on stone. Over the course of a week, we learned to draw Roman capitals by hand before carving them into stone. In response to the prompt of carving a word related to "the future," I chose the phrase "l’an deux-mille" (the year 2000). I found it interesting to adopt the perspective of past generations, like my parents and grandparents, for whom the year 2000 represented the ultimate symbol of the future.
