Cascade Sculpture by Béatrice Darmagnac

INTENTIONS
In the beginning, there is this questioning of reality, my sensitive and intuitive relationship to it.
As a sculptor, I question space, volumes, materials, the temporality of their experimentation. And this, at different levels of acceptance of these notions: the physical, the artificial and the imaginal.
The anchor of my research is the observation of plasticity in the natural environment: erosion, morphogenetic system, particularly the effects of flows. And everything that is put in place to retain, prevent, maintain, disseminate.
I have a principle of acceptance: "everything is matter".
In my protocols, I poetize the dialectic between naturalness and artifice, taking into account the unstable and the impermanent.

I affirm here my filiation, and my separation from my references: Conceptual Art, Minimal, Land Art and Arte Povera, Spacialism, New Realism. But I don't forget that I come from the Law Brow and its music and its aesthetic of deconstruction. That I frequented squats and hang out at night.

In each of my sculptures, I solicit this chimera of remembered-present-projection.
