The cusp of perfection and imperfection in the theme of the work of artist Nicolette Bénard. This is a theme one finds in her jewellery as well as in her latest project ‘Project B’, a series of wall objects in plexiglass.

A life of imperfection and imperfection. "It's a way of seeing." It's about leaving things out, not being complete and the power of impermanence. This is reflected in the minimalism and austerity of the work. Nicolette is also looking for asymmetrical patterns and likes to work with different structures and shapes.

In Project B. Nicolette investigates a doll position as an icon of beauty – the sum of the perfect, indulgent men – and asks: is it ideal beauty or false idealism? Project B. is in a borderland between being adorable and absurd, being quite foreign and quite recognizable at the same time; because behind the balls of fabric, under the all-absorbing flowers and behind what looks like cement with nails in, we can still see a doll’s fastidious hands and the elegant legs stick out.
A doll does however, form the ideal object to re-shape and re-imagine. With a wink and a healthy dose of humor, Nicolette works on her dolls and transforms them to.....yes, to what exactly?
