SAINT TROPEZ EDITION

Clementine creates art for a world that predominantly overlooks our essence identity. In a culture that rewards being seen over seeing, she turns her attention to what everyone else moves past and produces work from the unexpected. Value is not deemed by mass consensus. Meaning is not lost. In her heartfelt quest to remedy digital isolation and fallacy, meaning proves to be ubiquitous and awaiting attribution everywhere.

She travels to the destinations where visibility has become a currency and photographs what no one stops for: the rope at the port, a dismantled sign, the object that promises no validation. Where others pass, she pauses, conferring extraordinary meaning unto the ordinary and asking us to seek a similar significance within rather than without. 

The resulting artwork is photographic, sculptural, machined and finished by hand. Its reflective surface returns onlookers to themselves so viewing becomes recognition rather than consumption. Built with the precision of a monument, each wall sculpture presents a symbol at the forefront that embodies an enlightened state contrasted with meaning-attributed articles in the background that conceptually identify a pervasive myopic state. The charged space between the two planes of existence is where inquiry and transcendence live. 

Embedded in every piece are offerings which point us towards our intrinsic value, altruistic and expanded states of existence already within us, wherever the place we may find ourselves in the world. Whomever meets the work receives an invitation for interpretation with layers of depth awaiting receipt. Living beyond the art is the experiential takeaway in the value of self-discovery, to stop passing and start pausing, and to open to finding the extraordinary in their own ordinary.
