About the work

Grandvaux’s sculptures transform metal into breath. Working with iron, copper or brass wire, she builds delicate, hand-meshed volumes that appear almost weightless, suspended between drawing, textile, music and sculpture. Her forms often evoke the living world—seeds, cocoons, cells, membranes—but her recent ONDE series goes further by translating spoken words into physical form. The artist records a word in her own voice, converts the sound into a waveform, stretches and reworks that signal, then uses it as the basis for a hand-woven three-dimensional sculpture.

In Regarde, the word “look” becomes a vertical line of sound suspended in space. Made from black lacquered iron wire, the sculpture is both graphic and organic: its narrow stem-like structure expands into resonant bulbous forms, as if the vibration of the voice had briefly gathered density before dissolving again into silence. Light passes through the mesh, allowing the viewer’s gaze to move inside and around the work. The piece gives literal body to language, turning a spoken command into a fragile, vibrating presence—an invitation not only to look, but to listen with the eyes
