Valerie Jolly - Infra-thin (Paperback)

For her first solo exhibition, entitled Infra-Thin, Valerie Jolly presents a series of ethereal sculptures and photographs which, according to critic Richard Dyer, appear to be in the process of vanishing, like a lasting impression or a fading memory. Valerie Jolly casts objects in sticky wet tissue paper and when the paper dries, what she peels off carries the form and marks of the original, only it is colourless and weightless. This technique enables her to capture, almost literally in the sense of stealing, all the details, even the most minute ones, of the original object.Her tissue paper sculptures are like a trace, a vaporous evocation of the original. They strive to achieve the impossible, to inhabit the space between spaces, the infra-thin threshold between presence and absence, visible and invisible, material and immaterial, reality and memory, reality and dream."
