| From the book: "Marseillan & a Lot of Languedoc: Lazy France: How to be Very Very Lazy in Marseillan and a Lot of Languedoc." Every town, every village, has its water tower: a vast container suspended above the fields, assuring water pressure for farmers and village houses alike. The makeover of this particular tower was one of the popular grands projets of Mayer William Merric’s regime: a grand mosaic on the skyline, celebrating the bounty of the étang amid the treasures of the soil. Architect and designer Marnix Verstraeten was invited to transform the edifice. Verstraeten proposed cladding the tower with a great collage of oyster shells. Representing the maritime history of the port and village, this beacon of mother of pearl cache shimmers in the ever changing light, reflecting sunrise and sunset, skimming clouds and watery sunshine in a glistening wave that seems to flicker and glisten from dawn to moonrise. Under supervision of another architect, Luc de Kerpel, and ten experienced shell artists, a team of 30 toiled for six weeks between March and May 2007 until they had covered all 2 000 square metres of the tower with the designer’s patterns in the form of a seascape of waves. High winds and spring mistrals made the task of completing around 30 square metres each day a noble challenge for the team, who worked on 24 separate sections to create an oeuvre that would stand the tests of climate and time. Each of 200,000 shells, harvested from restaurants around the Basin de Thau had been prepared for the worst: Every shell was rinsed and soaked in special baths to avoid damaging the finish, finally lain out in the sun to dry naturally over several days. Once all had been placed around the tower and the mosaic complete, two coats of varnish were applied, ready for the official unveiling by the mayor on 9 May. Twenty-three metres high, and over 18 metres in diameter, the ultimate in designer shell-ware perches high above the village on bright blue pylons: bringing horizon and water ever closer to the terre of Marseillian. |
