LAURENCE LE CONSTANT

  Laurence Le Constant's work falls within the field of contemporary sculpture. Through her work with materials, she has developed a body of work that questions memory, disappearance, and processes of transformation.

​

 

Her sculptures use organic and mineral materials such as feathers, wood, and crystals as the building blocks of a visual language. The material becomes the site of a tension between fragility and persistence, presence and absence, visible and latent.

​

 

Her work revolves around sculptural forms that function as figures of memory.

Each work is situated at the border between portrait, trace, and relic, without direct reference to funerary iconography. Rather, it is about producing a re-figuration: bringing forth a presence where loss remains, inscribing the body and identity in an expanded time.

 

The series My Lovely Bones is a central focus of this research. It explores the mechanisms of survival of forms and narratives, reactivating the tradition of vanitas in a contemporary sculptural vocabulary.

 

​
Through this approach, Laurence Le Constant has developed a practice in which sculpture becomes a space for reflection on identity, transmission, and the construction of collective imaginaries.
