The current work of Corinne Simon-Alexandre is the fruit of a long experience of  clay. A work that likes to explore the limits of this demanding material using different techniques.

“I like to find out how I'm going to manage to create this form that I have in the back of my mind”.

Fascinated by the work of Hans Jean Arp, her work stems from a quest for making new forms. The shapes created are the culmination of graphic research recorded in many frantically filled notebooks.

This work is above all inspired by the contemplation of nature, which she does not seek to imitate. So beyond or below mimesis, it is rather a question of entering into a dialogue with nature, of prolonging its suggestions. It can just as well be the earth's crust covered with astonishing abstract forms in its cracks, its cutouts, its reliefs, or even the maritime ramifications of corals, those aerial and underground of trees, which can germinate inspiration. By freeing itself from the scales visible to the naked eye in nature, the microcosm meets the macrocosm, the bacterium and the meteorite rub shoulders.
