Monsieur Tamalou and Arthur

An afternoon of arts plastiques at l'ecole de Ribouisse. Inspired by the work of Christian Voltz, the idea was to make mobiles out of objets trouves.
The girls' constructions featured feathers and flowers and beads and buttons. The boys' were more industrial - chains and huge bolts, string and formidably long nails, which classroom Health and Safety officials would balk at.
Arthur and Germain made Monsieur Tamalou, thus named because he always has something wrong with him, in this case, no feet - they were severed by a petrol driven chain saw, according to Arthur.
