Bevis Martin & Charlie Youle's fascinating works

Bevis and Charlie his partner who live in Nantes and work collaboratively( martinandyoule.com).  
The pumpkin filled their small kiln!  the fruits are scaled according to the relative size of the planets. The veg. are like the stages of development of a foetus.

Bevis came to family workshops many years ago so maybe we can claim to have sown some small seeds for these..
