Nascita, sculpture by Sybille Pasche, Kings Cemetery, Geneva.

Sibylle Pasche is known for her large-scale outdoor sculptures. She mostly works with stone (Carrara marble, travertine, black Belgian marble). The processes of nature and the poetry of simple shapes in daily life inspire Pasche. She works with well-known structures and shapes which she develops further according to her own rules of rhythm and proportion. Her objects, weighing several tons, resemble grounded boulders. The choice of the material, its durability and the corresponding notion of longevity has a force that runs counter to the contemporary Zeitgeist of today's fast-paced world.[1] Pasche prefers esthetics to provocation.[2] Traces of time (2011) is a representative piece of Pasche's focal preoccupations of carving the inside.[3]

Her drawings and paintings can be compared to diary entries complementing her work in stone. Her diaphanous, poetic evocations of natural phenomena investigate both the micro and the macrocosm. As intimated in the series' titles – Cells and Stars, New York (2008/09) and Stars and Snow, Engadine (2010) – her drawings join the fragile and delicate to the cosmic.[4]

gollark: Trouble is that you can only use that when within about 15 blocks of a server, but that shouldn't be too problematic.
gollark: Makes sense.
gollark: Relative only.
gollark: How would you use that? Surely it can't locate your canvases.
