Chantal Koot
Sculpture with Recycled Material
"Chantal discovered sculpting using recycled materials in 2016 when she was captivated by a sculpture of a dancer during the Art au Vignoble exhibition. A few months later in Saint-Lazare, she came across the same sculpture and its creator during a studio tour. Although she had always enjoyed discovering sculptures during her urban explorations, in museums or parks, she had never imagined creating some herself. She took a few workshops to learn how to work with recycled fabrics using Paverpol, a textile hardener. She explored various other artistic mediums, but sculpting with reclaimed materials quickly became her true creative voice as it aligned with her deep commitment to repurposing materials. In 2022, she earned her Paverpol certification and continues to enhance her practice through specialized training, exchanges with artists from a variety of disciplines, and the challenges of creating sculptures."
