It is a table/tablecloth of about 75 by 48 inches, at 36 inches above the ground, made of 180 pieces of women shirts. The table is dresses with a tablecloth and the motive of former is made with women shirts of plain colours, in tones of ivory, that may present laces. Collars, buttonholes and wristbands create the perspective for the table. By choosing this colour and this type of shirt, I want to evoke a field of snow. To increase the efficiency of the presence of the object-cloth, a diffuse lighting will be placed under the surface of the work of art. One must know that, once vitrified in acrylic and heated with an autoclave, the clothes become translucent. Acrylic leads light, thus each piece will seem to float and the flash of the colour of clothes will be amplified. Above “Snow-Table” float a pair of mobile skis-craddle.
