La rouge
Being a good apple, I thought I’d be able to finish decorating the fruit in front of you in 2 days. I had underestimated the number of characters I would have to draw for this project, as well as the backache of working on a metre-high apple. In the end, it took 7 days to complete. A host of characters, including a few celebrities, with or without a connection to the forbidden fruit, which I invite you to look out for!
The café-restaurant at the Maison des Arts du Grütli is a convivial space focused on responsible consumption.
