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."
