French term or phrase: partage communicatif

I am translating a rather high-brow text about a sculptor (XXXX) and his wood sculptures (the source text is from the preface of a catalogue containing pictures of his work).

I´m struggling to come up with a nice translation for the expression, "partage communicatif". Below is the paragraph in question for context.

Any ideas VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH :-)

Que ce soit l'humour ou l'adhesion organique il ne s'agit pour XXXX ni d'un eloignement conceptuel ou plaisant ni d'une exaltation vague concernant la nature mais au contraire d'un rapprochement encore plus intime vers une invention concrète et **son partage communicatif**. An sens peut-etre où l'entendait YYYY quand il déclarait merveilleusement vouloir realiser « ... une oeuvre complexe ... où les droits de la logique de 1'espace et du temps seraient violés autant de fois que, par heure, un ivrogne communie avec son verre.» Complexité et invention concrète dont l'émergence n'est pas nécessairement conforme à la logique dominante du langage et des habitudes, à la succession convenue des effets et des causes imposée par l´efficacité raisonnable de notre activité. Et qui, par méprise, peut donner l'impression d´etre une illusion, un délire, une ivresse alors qu'en fait elle répond de facon plus cohérente a notre réalité essentielle, qu´elle constitue un rappel à l'ordre, une alerte pour l'esprit contre l´oubli organisé.

sharing and communicating (it)

Explanation:
I think that it means sharing through communication, but one would tend to put it differently in English.

partake

Explanation:
I just feel there might be a possibility with "partake", and I'm sorry I cannot help with a real translation.

As a Catholic, I see the ideas of sharing and communion (= be one with).
But also, according to the sentences that follow, something which wants to go back to the illogical, real crudeness ... at the core of each human being.
+ I like the word because it's also archaic.

par·take
To take or have a part or share; participate. ... share in
...To have part of the quality, nature, or character of something.
... have in common

... partake = receive - partake of the Holy Eucharist sacrament
