Louisiana artist Sidonie Villere uses ceramic, wood, plaster, and found objects to explore personal subjects. Her monochrome work reflects her emotional and physical observations of the human condition. Villere describes her process as “personal and universal record-making,” a way to express her feminine perspective on the contradictions of self-preservation. Through this exploration, she uses her work as a tool to decipher, edit, and visually assemble elements. The viewer witnesses the struggle to attain resolution and ultimately finds it.

"Villere defines and personalizes related forms, adapting them to a more fluid and feminine environment."

- Erik Bookhardt, Art Critic

"She gets the feeling of protection/removal together with an emotional vulnerability."

- Lynda Benglis, Artist

"Villere has seized upon uncertainty and discontinuity as a means of vaulting her practice forward."

- Dan Cameron, Art Curator
