This is the first book dedicated to the oeuvre of the contemporary Belgian sculptor Carole Solvay (born 1954). Over the past twenty-five years, she has been using, mainly using feathers and wire, produced sculptures of an ethereal beauty that seem to defy gravity. This publication illustrates a hundred of her works, supplemented with short quotes from her favorite literary works, including by Carson McCullers, Syvia Plath, Mahmoud Darwish, Fernando Pessoa and the I Ching. These and many other authors are the source of inspiration for Solvay’s oeuvre. The combination of her sculptures with these quotes offers the reader a unique perspective on the art and way of working of Carole Solvay.
