Fairies
The Fairies series is Cedric's longest ongoing sculpture series.
Since childhood, he was always fascinated with the macro world. The idea that an entire world exists on a different scale wherever you look was his link to the fantasy world he grew up dreaming about.
​The fairies are each unique in their designs, and after decades of designing, he is always surprised that new possibilities of composition are still available to him.
​The fairies are a mixed media composition of insects and plants reflecting the astonishing beauty of the natural world.
