« What matters is the form and what it conveys to me »

Claude Lalanne's works are created from imprints and casts, using the process of electroplating. In this way, she captures natural forms and transforms them into sculptures. Her style is driven by an intuitive spirit: ‘What matters is the form and what it conveys to me.’
