Using the ubiquitous paper material, she creates cave-like architectural elements and smaller sculptures that showcase its versatility.
Now on view in her solo exhibition titledFolies, each piece gives cardboard a voice.

Sawed, inlaid, and stacked, Jospin creates a permanence to an ephemeral material.
I like the ambivalence it generates.

The gallery’s outer walls greet us with tree-like forms punctuated with the classical structure of a coffered ceiling.
Cardboard frames with ornate inlaid elements display more of Jospin’s work as you walk down the hall.
Some of the framed compositions are also made of cardboard while others are created with thread or drawings.
