Charlotte Cornaton
Charlotte Cornaton's approach reflects societal and cultural issues. Entitled Hortus-Vanitas, her proposal highlights the futility and emptiness of human actions, amplified by the context of a global pandemic. In a situation of confinement, she began to model ceramic bones, then, like a flower in the middle of winter, to represent a vulva, a reference sometimes to the vagina dentata of Navajo tales, sometimes to Claude Lévi-Strauss's La potière jalouse. As the months passed slowly, the artist painted self-portraits that varied with the seasons. As in 2021, her mixed compositions combine painting and ceramics. Following on from her previous project, Monsteras deliciosa, she writes the story of a world we will never know again.
In most of her works, the artist combines various media, including ceramics, and practices performance art. LR
