Frederick Gay and Sylvain le Guen (Workshop: " A pas d 'Anges")

I found this exhibit of Shoes and Fans awhile ago and thought it was quite interesting. The artist is pictured below. He is a fan designer but for one exhibit has added shoes. His site.

COLLECTIVE EXHIBITION IN THE VISITATION HALL OF THE ROMANS MUSEUM
From December 18 2004 to March 28 2005

Shoes, like fans, are more than just accessories, above all they are symbols connected to departure, movement, communication and elevation. This is why we enthusiastically responded to the challenge of the plastic arts to participate in an exhibition at the Shoe Museum. The opportunity to connect foot and hand in a setting conducive to the conservation and preservation of knowledge resolutely turned towards contemporary creation was too good to pass.

What I do is kick them in the pants with a diamond buckled shoe!
