Nature and Time are the raw materials used by Thérèse Lebrun. She takes the structures found in nature and uses them like building blocks to create something different, something new. It struck her that the bathroom is virtually the only place that is not occupied by Hortadesigned furnishings. It is here that she would imagine her installation to be. While not for a minute wishing to finish the work of the architect, it is a fleeting gesture that Thérèse Lebrun wishes to offer the bathtub, as well as the bullseye window of the gallery, allowing her physalislike objects to occupy the space like barnacles clinging to rocks on the seashore.
