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. 

In Project B. Nicolette investigates a doll position as an icon of beauty – the sum of the perfect, indulgent women – and asks: is it ideal beauty or false idealism? Project B. is in a borderland between being adorable and absurd, being quite foreign and guite recognizenble 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 humour, Nicolette works on her dolls and transforms them to.....yes, to what exactly?
