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.
"Blood, bile, intracellular fluid; a small ocean swallowed, a wild wetland in our gut; rivulets forsaken making their way from our insides to out, from watery womb to watery world: we are bodies of water.” - Astrid Neimanis, 'Bodies Of Water'
“‘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.” - Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle
