About this artwork
This work is based on a link that is invisible and hidden from view.
While the front reveals a soft and organic meeting line, the real assembly takes place on the back, where the leathers are fully laced, held under tension, out of view.
The light leather, derived from ostrich, has a surface dotted with natural, almost breathable markings, while the chocolate brown leather retains darker traces, evidence of a past inscribed in the material.
The… cut has not been corrected or softened. It follows the contour as it was imposed, revealing the thickness, the edge, the truth of the material.
Between these two layers, the tension does not seek to disappear. It connects, supports and maintains the whole, in a fragile balance where memory and constraint remain perceptible.

Aurélie Pellat develops a practice at the crossroads of design, plastic research and saddlery-leather goods.
Using discarded materials—fragments of leather, textiles, paper, or wood—she creates collages and wall sculptures that question our relationship to the value of materials. Abandoned after fulfilling their function, these fragments become the starting point for a new artistic expression.
Without erasing their history, she preserves their forms, cuts, perforations, and traces of use. Through assembly, sewing, and tension, she reveals the sensory potential of these vestiges and invites us to take a fresh look at what has been set aside.
Nourished by geometric abstraction, minimalism and Arte Povera, her practice explores how a material, once discarded, continues to carry a memory and a presence.
Originally from the French Riviera, she lives and works in Paris.
