Pascal Convert's Art of Memory and Trace
Pascal Convert creates works from three fundamental elements: architecture, autobiography, and various indexical practices such as impressions, casts, and transfers of drawings or recordings using glass, wax, pencil lead, or precious metal. In an era of fascination with objects and narcissistic, mannerist retreat, Convert stands out for his attention to the subject: its construction, its place, and its dissolution.
