During an artist residency in La Bourboule (Auvergne, France), Claire came across various archived materials in the attic of the town hall. She folded, cropped and then applied these materials to colored back- grounds. The outcome is an installation of 10 framed compositions, in A4 format. This book presents these works through Claire's delicate consideration of material and sequence. Her intention is to celebrate the beauty and plasticity of these documents by taking them out from the shadows and giving them a new life.
