After the engraving of the 42000 auras, representing symbolically the 42000 inhabitants of the valley, before putting all the pieces together, each inscription will be embossed on paper, thus allowing everyone to have a keepsake of his own creation.
A huge aluminium sculpture, containing thousands of personal messages engraved by the people of Maurienne and their friends, will be erected in the form of an aura to form "Laura".
Please, leave name and address in our email 
with the desired text. Our workshop will do the rest.
Leave name and address. We will send you an aluminium piece by mail.
You may then produce your own drawing by pressing the contours into the varnish and then return the piece to us.
You can also send us a drawing on paper and we will reproduce it for you (some exemple).

Solidarity
The chief aim of this project is to do something together, to be open to others (at a time when selfishness predominate), creating bonds of friendship, new relationships and bearing in mind, the involvement, above all, of those less-favoured ones among us.
To cope with this vast project, a workshop has been opened. It offers 10 jobs to those in straightened circumstances. This workshop is the centre of Solid'Art and through it, together, we will erect a meaning full, collective masterpiece.
By engraving his or her own piece, by helping financially, each one can contribute to the success of this workshop, supplementing its staff, thus participating in this humane adventure of Solid'Art Maurienne.
Created by Marc Bietry, sculptor from Lyon
(France), Laura will represent, from a distance, a huge human
head lined by a halo, or a key-hole, or a parabolic reflector
for extra-terrestrials !!!
In close-up, it will reveal a multitude of artistic expressions
each one distinct and yet harmonious.
Covering a total surface of 5000 square meters, "Laura" will be the one and only work in the world, in which each person will be integrated.
A very simple technique within everyone's reach. The pieces are protected by a layer of varnish. To obtain your drawing just trace on the varnish with a hard point (ball-point pen,...) and then send the piece to us. Our team will dip it into an acid bath which will penetrate the lines made on the varnish.
T
This longest alpine valley is 120 kms long and serves thoroughfare between France and Italy and Southern Europe. It was in Maurienne that the process of manufacturing aluminium was invented 100 years ago. Besides the aluminium industry, the "Maurienne" offers a pleasant and homely holiday attraction (24 summer and winter resorts) together with a high quality standard of agricultural products (cheese for example).
