Scarecrow / Epouvantail (2010)

Un épouvantail gentil comme un dessin d’enfant, pour veiller sur le potager de l’école Parmentier, à Puteaux, France. Commandé par la ville de Puteaux, chantier : Roulleau-Gallais Architectes

Order from the city of Puteaux, for the educational vegetable garden of their brand new elementary school. Commissioned by  Roulleau-Gallais Architect

The shape of the scarecrow is inspired by the dynamic lines of a child’s doodle.

It is proved that  living close to a static familiar pattern provides a feeling of safety and trust to fragile animals like birds. Scarecrow are a very nice incitement for nesting.
