On the drifts of a journey around the unfeasible, my practice is a dedication to tragedy as a grand ideological narrative. By the means of ceramic sculpture, installation, sound and text, my work can be perceived as watery utopias aiming to represent the potentialities of longing and failure - thrills which result from uncontrollable events and uncertainty. Surrendering to the unknown has an inherent aura of resistance in which resides the fantasies, the nuances, the flaws, all the things that define us as individuals. Lorie Ballage (b.1994, France) holds a BFA from the Art Academy of Dundee, Scotland and a Master of Fine Art from the Art Academy of Bergen, Norway, where she currently resides.
