Valerie Jolly

Using layers of tissue paper mixed with water and PVA, Valerie Jolly casts objects, fragments of rooms or entire spaces that she literally peels off like a skin once the material has dried. Her sculptures are an echo, a trace, a ghostly evocation of the original. The ethereal, frozen-like scenes hover between presence and absence, reminiscence and disappearance, reality and dream, reminding us of the way we remember spaces we have inhabited.
