#58 [english]: Sculptor Laurence Vallières builds giant artworks from cardboard

Laurence Vallières is a Canadian sculptor from Quebec, she works with recycled cardboard and builds incredibly realistic animals that often are larger than life. She has been showing internationally at galleries, institutions and many Urban Art Festivals. She even created two of her oversized gorillas for Burning Man 2016. She has only been around a few years in the art world, but has already made a big name for herself because of the uniqueness of her work. I first met Laurence a few years ago when I did an interview with her for the german newspaper Die Zeit. She was part of the Knotenpunkt Festival in Hamburg in 2014 and has returned twice since. When she came to grace this years Knotenpunkt at the Affenfaust Galerie it was the perfect opportunity to invite her to the studio and record a show with her.
