Rêve.Art.Projet-Des oeuvres réalisées avec passion dans le respect de la nature!

<p>I&#39;m Claude, my artist name is <em>Kayhanga</em>, and I would like to invite you to discover my story.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Captivated about art and everything out of the ordinary, I decided to devote myself to this passion and now trying to make a living out of it. That turned out well, the decision was accompanied by a move to Guadeloupe in the French Caribbean two years ago.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I started collecting seeds to make jewelry (necklaces, earings,...), then collected calabashes that I turned into lamps. I wanted to develop my creation so I gathered various pieces of wood and driftwood that I carved with a chainsaw following the inspiration of the moment.</p><p>In the meantime, I participated to an art show &quot;Chouval&quot; through the Birmingh&#39;Art Association in November 2017. The compliments and encouragements I received gave me the feeling that I belonged in the artistic world and that I need to persevere. So I contributed to another exposition themed &quot; Contes &amp; L&eacute;gendes Cr&eacute;oles&quot;. It was a blast ! &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>That is the reason why I&#39;m reaching out to everyone today.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Despite the joy I feel when creating my art and my family support, I have to be realistic, even more now that I live on an island where the cost of living is higher than the mainland. My finances are very limited and I need any help I can find to help fund and support this project.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First off, I must find <strong>a location to create my art</strong>. A workshop would not only help me create but hopefully I can also help others discover what I do and maybe even teach them my technics.</p><p>At the moment wood is my main medium, however I would like to create with other materials such as rocks, metal and glass so I need the proper space to expand and work under decent conditions. <em>(see photo of the current location)</em></p><p>Even though I&#39;m quite strong, or I&#39;d like to think so, <strong>I need more tools</strong>!</p><p>I currently need a blowtorch and a bigger, stronger chainsaw (better than the one I currently use). These tools would be used pretty much daily so you can understand why I really need them. I even modified some of them to meet on my needs.</p><p>Lastly, I would need to find <strong>a practical car</strong> as some of my creations are rather large and the cute but small European cars are just not cutting it :) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Keep in mind that I source a lot of my materials from Mother Nature directly so depending what I find it can be limiting to have to leave some beautiful pieces out just because my car is too small to bring them back. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><strong>First exhibition </strong></u>: <em><strong>&quot;Chouval&quot;</strong></em></p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/517701/cest_le_totem__2_-1526700624.jpg" /></p><p><u><strong>Totem Cheval</strong></u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/517655/Hyppocampe-1526668034.jpg" /></p><p><strong><u>Hyppocampe</u></strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/517657/Cheval-1526668122.jpg" /></p><p><strong><u>Cheval</u></strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/517659/Kayhanga-1526668315.jpg" /></p><p><u><strong>My Totem</strong></u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><strong>Second exhibition :</strong></u> <em><strong>&quot;Contes &amp;

Allocation of funds

<p><u><strong>Recap regarding the collect:</strong></u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><strong>Here is a breakdown of what I would do with the money:</strong></u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- About <strong>800 Euros</strong> for <u>a deposit or a first rent on a location</u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- About <strong>4,500 Euros</strong> for <u>a truck</u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- <u>The site</u> would take<strong> 8 %</strong> of the total goal which is <strong>560 Euros</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- The leftover of <strong>1,140 Euros</strong> will be used to <u>buy tools</u> (blowtorch, chainsaw...)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I ended up with more money than expected I would love to buy an oven (for glass art) or it will help fund the fees I have to pay to participate to some exhibitions.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Why help me ?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Because you just want to help an artist ? &nbsp; Because you like my creations?&nbsp; Because we need art in this crazy World but artists like me need help to make it happen!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Am I a dreamer?&nbsp; Sure!&nbsp; But I&#39;m also very conscious of the reality of this artistic world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thank you for taking the time to read my story.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Kayhanga</strong></p>
