Pli et replis

“Like a semantic opposition of open and closed, the artist traces a path in the intimate immensity of small things that plays on scales and questions our relationship to reality.
This loss of reference is that of the dream, a mental space. Corinne De Battista invites us to lose ourselves in matter and in the meanderings of the mind... By offering a vision of an open horizon, her works deal with the evocation of the landscape... An extended shaped mass, a periglacial modeling that the time, the wind and the water cut, a moving mass extends like a river and furrows in the ground, its way. She reconstructs an endless expanse, cloud overhangs, each element of creation being a fragment of a total and memorial geography…”
