Fabienne Lasserre
Fabienne Lasserre's work explores bodies that exist between categories, challenging fixed ideas about form, identity, and function. In Night Moves (Hand), a porcelain cast hand is both intimate and uncanny. By transforming the body into a vessel, Lasserre probes ideas of touch, desire, and the shifting boundaries between ourselves and the objects we live with.

Exhibited In
Named by Algonquian tribes of the northeastern United States, the Strawberry Moon signals summer's wild strawberry harvest. The first full moon of June, it appears especially large as it rises on the horizon.
In this spirit of ripeness and transformation, Strawberry Moon brings together recent work by Christy Gast, Fabienne Lasserre, Halsey Rodman, and Molly Smith. Installed within a former dairy factory, the work ranges from large-scale sculptural installation to intimate watercolor paintings, exploring bodies, landscape, desire, and the scales of time.
Making a work that is not a painting and not a sculpture—that is a mix of the two, not easy to pinpoint—is akin to contesting the definitions of a female body or a male body or another body.
And why would you accept these definitions?
