Gaëlle Legrand works across sculpture, photography, and installation. Guided by careful inquiry into the ontology of matter, and moving between analogue and digital processes, she explores how shapes and lines can sculpt the space they inhabit. Legrand works with wood, flowers, metal, and stone, to create her large, minimal sculptures. The work is grounded in the embodied knowledge of her ancestors (woodworkers and farmers from northern France), and emerges out of a sustained attention to matter, land, and lived experience. Her practice is closely tied to the places it is made, and relies on observation and contemplation. Drawing inspiration from the forms and structures of plant-life, her work considers the entanglements that weave our world.
