Constance Chabrières, born in 1968, is a French multidisciplinary artist. She makes mobile and stabile artworks and sculpts the living. She is focused on emotions traveling through the movement, on how emotions connect us to the world.
Scavenging, searching for natural material in the forest, on the beach, assembling it with discarded elements she finds in the streets, stimulate her imagination. Paper is her favorite material. Dry, wet, crumpled, thin or thick, she plays with paper. Often, she collaborates with artisans and artists on site specific projects.

Between 1992 and 2003, in West Africa and Asia, her humanitarian missions also brought her to meet artisans, work with them, promote arts and crafts. Skilled workers taught her so much. Upon returning from Afghanistan, she opened her studio Atelier Constance Chabrières, in Paris, France. It is a leap of faith.
