Long Road Projects: Memo

Manon Bellet observes rather than controls. The becoming of a work is more important to her than its irreversible completion, its shape potentially modified or influenced by the exhibition venue or the visitors. For Bellet, serendipity is the most relevant of all creative processes. In addition, a certain humility informs her choice of materials. Simple and unsophisticated, they possess an expressive power that is tapped by the artist in forging her work. Deliberately “antiform”, Bellet’s work emerges as much from the environment as it does from the artist herself; it is a field for exploring the mysteries of memory and the vestiges of the present.
