Laurence Jenkell lives and works in Vallauris, in the Alpes-maritimes. Self-taught, she started to create on her own in the middle of the 90s. Her artistic research led her to experiment with various techniques such as inclusion, dripping, firing, casting, etc.
After multiple attempts, she successfully mastered and dominated Plexiglas, obtaining the “wrapping” technique, which will allow her to produce the Candy sculpture that has obsessed her for many years now.
More than a medium, the candy interpreted by Laurence Jenkell became a « language ». Her works join in a thought and cultural process: the subject of the Candy allying simplicity and universality, and through candies flags an interrogation on the question of the identity of a nation.
