Béatrice Balivet

I like the idea of a form of creative chance, of a free and fruitful relationship between spirit, gesture and matter. I particularly like the contact with the material: handling, mixing, feeling, transforming, touching, observing the unpredictable and appropriating it ... porcelain, textile, wool, leather, diverted or recovered materials ... Working these different materials allows me to constantly questioning them through their particular properties and constraints: softness, suppleness, colors, opacity, transparency, hardness, heat, cold, sensuality, density… I question their multiple nuances, their resonances, their part of the imponderable and their differences. Singular and unique, each piece allows me to renew and share this questioning through touch, feeling, hearing for the wearer and through the gaze for the observer. By choosing to make this particular object of sharing that is the jewel, I want to offer the other an experience, a precious moment.
