Maëlle Lucas-Le Garrec’s work is inspired by the magic of everyday artifacts. She explores the
oral transmission of collective imagination and craftsmanship. She draws upon family stories,
anchored in the pagan beliefs of Finistère. The pieces of antique furniture that she uses in her
sculptures are as many witnesses of these narratives, like sets full of past stories. She prefers
furniture that produces a physical and symbolic delimitation (door, clothing, partition). Societal
or intimate utopias are crystallized in it. She associates them with other more contemporary
forms and thus include herself in the filiation of the story. Her sculptures and drawings explore
the links between everyday objects and popular beliefs.
