The Squeeze series was created during an 18-month residency at CIRVA in Marseille, where Wendy explored glass moulding and casting. Her process-led approach prioritizes form over function: she builds metal structures as moulds for blown glass and experiments with colour combinations to test their strength and compatibility. Embracing the unpredictability of glass, she lets the material shape the outcome, resulting in unique pieces defined by chance in a controlled environment.
On the wall, new flowers echo the floral pedestals. Using her 'Regen' textile manufacturing technique, Wendy Andreu manages to produce tapestries free of any waste. She repurposes loom waste from Basque textile maker Lartigues 1910, letting the threads, stemming from a controlled manufacturing process, trace organic forms.
In this Jardin Mécanique (mechanical garden), the process is brought to life and speaks for itself - moulding, shaping, and cutting unite to conceive an artificial nature. Industrial materials and techniques are reinterpreted and liberated to express the beauty and unpredictability of nature.
