Le Banc
by Marie Khouri - Vancouver, Canada
Marie Khouri lived in Lebanon and Paris before recently settling in Vancouver. Throughout her extensive travels she has absorbed the unique aspects of the various cultures of the Middle East, Europe and North America. Marie has been sculpting for many years but only started releasing her work commercially in 2002 after attending l’Ecole du Louvre and les Ateliers du louver in Paris. Khouri sculpts primarily in clay and hand builds in lost wax, then casts the sculptures in bronze and concrete.
“My vessels speak to the continuum of craft and the role of the female in society, they take a timeless form to another level, informing our conventional perception of an everyday object. View this if you will as a new frontier in an ancient land. Moreover, they incorporate my art, which is the expression of my soul and my story.”
