| About the Artist | |
Valerie Jolly mostly works with paper. She casts objects in sticky wet tissue paper and when the paper dries, what she peels off carries the form and marks of the original, only it is colourless and weightless. Her sculptures address presence through thinness. They echo the forms of the original things yet consciously depart from their real-world substance. Pale and sometimes incomplete or opened up, her sculptures are like silent citation marks that reiterate the objects around us. They could be either an apparition or an image in the process of vanishing, like a fading memory. As though frozen and ethereal, they hover between presence and absence, reminiscence and disappearance, reality and dream. |
