In her contribution to Cure3, Seed Slices, Adeline de Monseignat adapts her usual exploration of the idea of presence and life in inanimate objects to fit the Perspex cube. Inspired by the symbolism of fertility surrounding seeds, the artist has created a sculpture displayed as a four-leaf clover which adds further connotations of hope and luck. The rounded edges of the tactile marble invite touch and interaction. De Monseignat describes the work “like four slices of a pie, their modularity offers various options of display, triggering the viewer's imagination and engages them in play”.
