Coralie Laverdet is represented by maison parisienne, this gallery was one that featured in Collect 2021, this is where I came across the work of Laverdet.
Her work interest me because of the textural use of material, these sculptural forms are made from paper, although you would never know! they remind me of something from the sea. She explores the sensitive, sensual and formal language of materials through diversion, repurposing and recycling of natural fibers. these forms for me are very focused on the sense, they make you want to touch the forms. The forms she creates are very uniform and organically shapes , with smooth curves. I enjoy how the entire form is covered with this texture. They take the form of rocks as they are very densely pack with the paper that creates the texture. Her sculptures were selling for €6,000 – 8,000 in Collect 2021
Her work inspired me to explore the use of texture within my own work, to explore how plants grow and attach themselves to natural forms.
