“Armelle’s work considers our relationship to our environment not from the usual perspective of how we affect it, but how it affects us – both on a personal and societal level. People and cultures are gradually shaped by the landscape that surrounds them and she suggests with time, the subtle influence of the mountains and the sea becomes evident in our cultural identity of the communities that form in their presence.
Surface texture and how it reflects and absorbs sunlight are important in all of her work and by providing a continuous surface area, Armelle’s new series of wall-mounted, carved panels allow her to explore in-depth how the quality of light changes across the surface of a piece in various circumstances. Most of the panels are all black, employing various textures to create different colors in the work.”
