ANGELIQUE: Rethink Sculpture


Translucent sculptures: we look through them, inside them; and if they seem to be floating, we nevertheless feel the weight of their existence. Angelique Lefebvre curiously resolves the ever-present tension between the full and the empty. Her medium? Organza: a material that inspires a strange sensation of mixed immateriality and immanence. The idea of impenetrability imposes itself  with force: we see ‘all’, but the ‘all’ resists us; we are invited to delve within, but all we perceive there is a void, a blankness.

  1. This is brilliant. What kind of material is organza? I admire the technique and quite fascinated by the material. I don't think I fully grasp the message though. But maybe that's more of reflection of how I think.
