Catherine Tableau

My art is about designing a primitive territory, between fiction and memory, a constant reminiscence of a mysterious and familiar ancient place.
Using plaster, I encourage imperfections arising from the artistical process and emphasize the ‘‘damaged’’ as it reveals an experience, a unique piece of the object’s history.
I like the tactile nature and the versatility of the plaster material to push back the limits of forms, to explore textures, and to create patterns.
I recall compulsively the same process like the mechanism of memory: digging up, inflicting mechanical stress, cutting, reconstructing, sequencing, and ensuring consistency.
