Valerie Snobeck - Catherine Bastide - Brussels


through December 11th 2010

Valerie Snobeck works by dismantling her materials. She takes a mirror, and then through processes that include acids, scrapping, cutting and rubbing, she rips and peels the metal backing off the surface, resulting in translucent panes of glass, with only subtle traces of their past lives as mirrors. The results are fragile yet sharp pictorial planes covered and graced by metallic shades and shadows, and revealing moment of opacity, translucence and reflection.
