Lamina

Lamina is the moniker of multi-disciplinary French artist Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle. In Basque mythology, the Lamina is half-human, half-animal; a nocturnal creature that lives in caves close to water sources and creeks. Taking influence from the natural world, works of hydrofeminism, and experiences with hypnotism, on ‘Olas Curativas’ Lamina sculpts a new ecosystem to explore.“

‘Olas Curatives’ is Spanish for ‘Healing Waves’. This title came to me during a hypnosis session in which I felt waves move through my entire body, gradually healing me. They were soft like velvet, a mass descending from top to bottom, diving inside me, transitioning from shadow to light, leaving more and more space and reviving all the ecosystems of my body.”
