Valérie Blass

In her probing of the visual tropes associated with the human body, Montreal sculptor Valérie Blass employs both traditional and unexpected media and materials. These range from marble, wood and plaster to photographs, spray paint and found objects, engineered toward the creation of installations, assemblages and free-standing sculptures. Some of her recent works suggest a kind of urban anthropology, examining the casual ways in which we dress and disport ourselves in our everyday lives.
