Bio
Sibylle
Pasche is a Swiss artist and sculptor. She is known for her
large-scale outdoor sculptures. Pasche 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.
Pasche prefers esthetics to provocation. Traces of
time(2011) is a representative piece of Pasche's
focal preoccupations of carving the inside. 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' titled Cells
and Stars, New York (2008/09) andStars and
Snow, Engadine(2010),her drawings join the fragile and delicate to
the cosmic.
