VALERIE CHAUSSONNET (1): sculptor + anthropologist

ARTish Plunge

Episode 17: Valerie Chaussonnett

June 16, 2021

From the Sorbonne to hitchhiking across Canada, from Berkeley to living with the Inuit in Nunavik, metal sculptor and painter VALERIE CHAUSSONNET has drawn inspiration for her artwork from the varied adventures life has offered her. Valerie’s experiences with the Smithsonian Institution preparing a Soviet-American exhibition on Alaska and Siberia stoked her desire to create artwork as a way of better understanding the artifacts she researched.

The ARTish Plunge podcast is a labor-of-love, staff-of-one project. For less than the cost of swim googles, you can help me “keep swimming” and hopefully help someone else take their own ARTish Plunge.
