A course by Laurence Vallières
Laurence Vallières is a Montreal-based sculptor with a degree in ceramics. Shortly after graduating, she decided to organize her own art show and built a huge cardboard statue to commemorate the event. The piece was an instant hit and propelled her career thanks to exposure on social media. She has since made cardboard her material of choice, as it’s accessible, eco-friendly, and easy to scale.
Laurence’s sculptures reflect her views on the environment and question humankind’s relationship with it. She has exhibited her work in galleries around the world as well as major festivals, including Burning Man in the US and the MURAL festival in Canada. She has also collaborated with brands like Carhartt WIP, Patrón Tequila, and TikTok.
