This extraordinary piece incorporates Toojay Quartz and rivergum, suspended within industrial-infused resin, alongside an upcycled narrow-gauge train wheel and cart wheel — over 100 years old — wrought iron elements and a reclaimed tractor hub.
A collaborative work formed from upcycled iron wheels of industry from the Wheatbelt framing fibreglass peelings locally peeled in Western Australia, reflecting the South Western coastline. The work reflects impermanence through material, movement, and weathering, where industrial memory softens under coastal light, salt air, and time, shaped by exposure, gravity, and transformation.
About Christophe Domergue - My art practice explores the material and psychological residue of urban and industrial sites. Using pigmented resin and fibreglass, I lift and preserve the surfaces of buildings through a process I call “Peeling.”
Each work captures the layered history of a place, its marks, pressure, decay, and memory. By transforming architecture into abstraction, I reveal the unseen beauty within erosion, labour, and time. My works become both document and transformation, blurring boundaries between painting, sculpture, and archaeology.
Through this process, I seek to make visible what cities forget, turning traces of the past into poetic evidence of endurance and renewal.
