From a scientific standpoint, glass is an unstable atomic structure. Juliette Leperlier may not be a scientist but her pâte de verre designs require great scientific knowledge. Chemical reactions and oxidation rates are all factors that affect the final product. Mechanics are needed to understand the durability of a plaster mold and whether or not it can withstand the heat of the kiln. Geometry determines how the shape of the inner mold affects the flow of molten glass.
From technique to production, Juliette Leperlier draws inspiration from Bach, ballet, the origins of the universe and mathematical proofs. She works with the precision of a surgeon and the spirit of a poet. Integrating theoretical physics and abstract modern art, her artworks invites us to question our individual approach to liberalism and sensibility. She reminds us how captivating it is to lose oneself and to simply be!
