Born in 1941, Simone Pheulpin is a French textile sculptor who lives and works in the Vosges, France. Her works are the result of an instinctive expression that uses both the suppleness and firmness of an untreated, natural material, a simple non-bleached cotton.
From her fabric strips and thousands of pins, a veritable vocabulary of forms and shapes with an organic allure, a supernatural world where surprising rocks and the seabed take form, sprung from her spirit and guided by her hands. She considers the fabric her partner,“If the fabric doesn’t want to go in the place that I’d like, I’ll do what it wants,” she says.
“It’s always the
fabric that wins, it’s never me.” Her work is in several important collections
including the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; Savaria Museum, Szombathely,
Hungary; Hinaya Textile Society, Kyoto, Japan; Museum of Decorative Arts,
Paris, France and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, UK.
