Artist’s statement – Marie Bornet
Marie creates sculptural installations and investigates existing spaces to dispose her shapes. She is fascinated by human, social and organic complexity. Since her childhood, wild spaces have always been her favorite recreation ground. Enthusiastic by discovering different environments, she regularly travels in new areas. Her installations reflect her interest in dynamics and synergies – where the whole is more than the sum of the parts. |

Hybrides (2010)
Intrigued by the world of thoughts, unconsciousness and their relationship, I create an offbeat universe full with energies furrowing between shapes, material and space. These compositions seems to be at first elusive, but as one look at it carefully we notice that the formless elements are nevertheless all related. |

| Rêverie, porcelain, size of the wall : 3 x 7.4m |
|
|
"Rêverie": This abstract landscape is part of a series of site sensitive installation made out of porcelain pieces dancing on walls. Together, they occupy the space forming a strong and dynamic arrangement … looking closely we discover the delicacy and refinement of each piece.
The viewer needs to walk along the work to discover all aspects of this site sensitive installation. Each point of view offers a new image, thanks to the shapes of the individual pieces and the ability of the material to catch the light in different ways. |

| Dessine-moi une montagne, coloured porcelain, each 11 x 3 x 7cm |
|
|
"Dessine-moi une montagne" is a body of work composed of 30 wall tiles inspired by the different aspects of rocks - between rigor and refinement.
The shadow casted on the tile draws a mountain range, evolving according to the light of the moment. |
