Edith Simonnet

Her work questions the imbalance, the breaking point.  

She confides: 

"In this frozen reality of the immobile object, I seek to inscribe a movement, a dynamic.  It is the challenge that I throw to the matter. Balance and imbalance are not opposed, they need each other to dance.  And in fact I have sculpted the dancers' bodies a lot. 

I like to imagine the previous movement, the one that induces the moment of imbalance that will lead to the jump, to the perfect figure. To the fleeting balance.  Creation is the result of the moment before and the idea of the moment after."
