CLAUDIA COMTE – BUNNIES AND ZIGZAG
2019-06-24Bunnies and ZigZag presents new sculptural work and a monochromatic vinyl wall painting that snakes through the gallery. Comte’s work draws together
architecture, design, nature and popular culture through motifs and patterns that morph in space. The exhibition foregrounds the artist’s fascination with mutating forms that oscillate between the material and the digital. As a starting point for her work, Comte often begins with wood sourced from sustainable forests in her hometown of Grancy, Morges. Her hand-carved sculptures retain the marks and inflections of her signature tool – the chainsaw – one not known for its precision, but rather for its expediency and force. This approach links Comte’s work to her wider interests in forest ecology and biodiversity, which she evokes through play, connection and touch.
