Cécile Dauchez

The multifaceted oeuvre of Cécile Dauchez is concerned with the processes whereby images appear and disappear. Be it through collage, digital printing or sculpture, she sets up a territory of experimentation in which her at times minimal gestures work with the traces, marks and textures of raw materials. Cécile Dauchez's approach is not connected with the formation of an idea or pre-conceived concept, but focuses, on the contrary, on making displacement, intuition and tentativeness the operative methods of an artistic endeavour.
Image reproduction techniques (scanning, printing, photocopying) are part of this mental path which, by dint of manipulation, will lead to the work. The work of the images often conditions the way of thinking about sculptural forms. These latter, fragile and unstable, are also the place for questioning representation, the place for stimulating the eye.
