Vanessa Billy
Fountain.
Vanessa Billy is a Swiss artist whose work utilizes a wide variety of materials, such as bronze, silicone, bio-resin, metals, glass and plastics. Within her practice she addresses broader concerns regarding human consumption by including industrial products and objects, drawing parallels between physical and mental constructs and thereby also posing questions about the impact of human activity and its effects on life on our planet. Fountain comprises a series of highly detailed, close-up and abstract images of various surfaces and shapes that have a fluid quality, reminiscent in color and form of water or ice. The series is accompanied by a commissioned text by Thogdin Ripley.
