Caroline Le Breton’s work investigates the relationship between people and place and how we understand and are formed by our environment. She often uses existing spaces and objects as a basis for transformation and intervention. Instead of creating autonomous art objects she is responding to what is already there.
In both her art and design work Le Breton explores the concept of interior spaces as either a protection from, or connection to the rest of the world. She is interested in the transition from the inside to the outside both literally as a physical journey, and conceptually as an inner journey, from a private sense of self to a lived experience of being in the world.
