artist: Béatrice Coron series: Trans-Forms title: E-motion portfolio: https://www.beatricecoron.com Béatrice Coron explores visual storytelling in artist books, paper cutting and public art. Born in France, she was a shepherdess and truck driver among others, then she worked in tourism and lived in Egypt and Mexico for one year each and two years in China. She moved to New York where she launched her career as an artist in 1984. In all these places she collected many stories. Her work can be seen in collections such as the Metropolitan Museum and the Walker Art Center and her public art in New York, Chicago, Paris and Hong Kong among others. Quoted text in french by Frankétienne from "Mots d’ailes en infini d’abîmes", translation Thomas C. Spear Trans-Forms is a collection of papercuts about metamorphosis. It is a quest for biology and machines’ appropriation in a spirit of creolization as defined by Edouard Glissant. Unexplainable hiatus the mysterious ways buried within ourselves. Hiatus inexplicable les chemins mystérieux enfouis au fond de nous. Look, watch, think: how many trans-formations you got (physically, spiritually or metaphorically)?
