Sandrine Pelletier. The Crystal Jaw
Prix Gustave Buchet 2021

 — 
Espace Projet
Free admission
Sandrine Pelletier explores matter and its potential for alteration. Wood, ceramic, glass, metal and mirror are the areas of a physical, sensual research that falls between craftsmanship and alchemy. Through the manipulation and transformation of these materials, the artist sparks a reflection on the passing of time, the ruin, and the trace.
