She develops her artistic practice by combining research trips with studio work, where she shapes clay. She has participated in various scientific expeditions at sea, aboard the schooner Tara, at the Roscoff Biological Station, along the Norwegian coast, and most recently aboard the Persévérance, a supply vessel for the Polar Pod, Jean-Louis Etienne’s oceanographic research vessel. Her work is regularly exhibited in France and internationally in both group and solo shows; notably, she has received the COAL Prize for Art and the Environment. Elsa GUILLAUME
