In this new exhibition, the artist explores skin as a metaphor: a protective envelope yet also a vulnerable surface, a repository of time, a place of traces, wrinkles, and scars. The feather, patiently cut, pierced, and sewn, becomes the echo of this sensitive skin. It embodies both shield and fracture, lightness and the weight of lived experience.
Carole’s works and installations carry this dual movement of fragility and strength, intimacy and universality. The assembled feathers rise like silent architectures, inviting us to look at matter differently—not as a mere material, but as a language in its own right, made of breath and silence.
This exhibition at Lee Bauwens Gallery unveils Solvay’s work as an immersion into an inner well, where each piece resonates like a fragment of memory transfigured into poetry.
Carole Solvay offers a sensory experience where time, skin, and feather merge, and where art becomes liberation.
