As if in an attempt to give a new dimension to her paintings, Laura Taily sculpts bodies. Kneaded from the clay, these fragile beings receive a solid skin making them look like steel giants. "I always use a mixture of clay and iron or clay and stone. I like the confrontation of two materials, it adds another dimension.”
Laura Taily paints and sculpts with her hands. "Painting with my hands gives me oneness with my work" she says.
For her paintings, the support is simple: a wooden frame on which she mounts a card. With her hands, she gathers, smoothes, sands. The successive, ultra thin layers of oil paint are like a multitude of pieces of life that gather up, one on top of another.
