"The natural world, ingested as food becomes a component of human being. Through these anthropomorphic and organic sculptures made of soil and wheat grass seeds, I strive to show that food, it’s origin, it’s transport, has an impact on us beyond it’s taste. The power inside it affects every organ of our body. Observing nature and being aware of what and how we eat makes us more sensitive to food cycles in the world - of abundance, of famine - and allows us to be physically, intellectually and spiritually connected to a global reality."


Mathilde Roussel is a French artist, who works sculpturally. For each of her projects, she also creates drawings as a part of her process which could be considered works of art in themselves. This particular piece is a series of anthropomorphic shapes made out of soil and wheat grass seeds, a commentary on our relation to the environment.
