La Valleur-Purvis transforms geometric forms into powerful explorations of resilience, belonging, and human connection.
Her work is a continuation of a lineage shaped by mid-century visionaries—Calder’s kinetic works, Tony Smith’s monumental minimalism, Noguchi’s seamless fusion of sculpture and environment, Nevelson’s architectural mystery, and de Saint Phalle’s unapologetic femininity. Their legacies fuel my practice, not as nostalgia, but as a call to build contemporary monuments that challenge, invite, and endure.
"My work transforms unyielding materials into testaments of resilience and belonging—reflecting our capacity to find beauty, play, and energy even in life's most challenging moments."
