« Drawing a line is to pull it from the end of the pencil.
Or maybe let it slide across the paper.
Now, see the line flow and escape…
It spurts through space and unfolds in all directions.
It coils up tight and unwinds around emptiness.
Sculpting a line, seeking the cavities within, digging a line…
Would it be a way to sculpt emptiness ? »

Biography
Angela Kornie was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1980. After studying applied arts at Duperré school in Paris, she did a visual arts university course in Rennes. She since has developed an artistic practice associating drawing with sculpture. She is currently living in La Roche-sur-Yon and exhibits all over France. Her works interact with the environment they are placed in. Creating site-specific installations has become a way to sculpt intangible space and draw directly onto the landscape.
