Naturel et contemporain
par Phyllis Richardson et Solvi dos Santos E.P.A (mai 2005 )
« L’un des aspect les plus remarquables des œuvres de Blott Kerr-Wilson,
l’un de ceux qui permettent de définir son art, est la qualité graphique qu’elle obtient
juxtaposant par exemple un grand cercle de moules bleutées et des vagues d’ormeaux blancs.
[…] Les coquilles sont disposées avec une telle précision – afin que l’effet change lorsqu’on bouge-,
que l’on n’est pas très sûr de ce que l’on voit.»
