‘Nagori’ exhibition by Carole Marchais

Aurélie Courcier’s studio, ‘Entre sel et terre’, is hosting a temporary exhibition. A few words about the artist, her work and the exhibition: ‘As a visual artist, Carole Marchais creates site-specific installations and assemblages that explore our relationship with our everyday environment through the prism of transience and melancholy — that awareness of the passage of time and impermanence. Her work is characterised by her relationship with space and matter, and subtly explores themes of absence, disappearance, transition and impermanence. Nagori A Japanese word that attempts to define the trace left by a fleeting feeling. Literally translated as ‘What remains of the waves’... Nagori is a word that anchors the trace of what is no longer there.” At Aurélie Courcier’s studio, Carole Marchais presents a collection of works (ceramics, assemblages, etc.) arising from her research into plants and traces, inspired in part by the island’s vegetation, both on land and at sea. She will also be offering creative workshops on the theme of plants, using two materials she employs in her own work: annealed wire and reinforced paper cord. Drawing with wire / assemblage
