Please enjoy my conversation with Pauline Galiana. 

Pauline engages simultaneously with a wide range of artistic practices, including collages, paintings, drawings, ephemeral installations, small-scale sculptures, performances, and videos. Her work incorporates both noble and mundane materials; regardless of the medium or method, the source materials are typically deconstructed, reconstructed, and hybridized. 

Pauline wastes nothing. Her processes are obsessive and meditative, involving meticulous planning and patient execution. When applied to materials of varying forms, resilience, and textures, the otherwise ordinary actions of drawing, looping, sticking, or sewing become transformative. By expressing instinctive states of mind through formal compositions, often involving rigorous grids, she extracts meaning from unexpected encounters and entropy. Bridging the gap between fine art and everyday utilitarian objects and materials, Pauline invites viewers to reconsider the boundaries of sustainability and reflect on conventional art forms.
