context_page_description: Sibylle Pasche is a Swiss artist and sculptor. She lives and works in Zurich, in Carrara and the US. From 1996 to 2000 Pasche studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts of Carrara and graduated with the thesis Women – Female Sculptors: The female Sculptor in the History of Art. From 1999 to 2002 she taught at the Liceo Artistico in Zurich.
context_section_description: Sibylle Pasche is known for her large-scale outdoor sculptures. She mostly works with stone (Carrara marble, travertine, black Belgian marble). The processes of nature and the poetry of simple shapes in daily life inspire Pasche. She works with well-known structures and shapes which she develops further according to her own rules of rhythm and proportion. Her objects, weighing several tons, resemble grounded boulders. The choice of the material, its durability and the corresponding notion of longevity has a force that runs counter to the contemporary Zeitgeist of today's fast-paced world. Pasche prefers esthetics to provocation. Traces of time (2011) is a representative piece of Pasche's focal preoccupations of carving the inside. 
  Her drawings and paintings can be compared to diary entries complementing her work in stone. Her diaphanous, poetic evocations of natural phenomena investigate both the micro and the macrocosm. As intimated in the series' titles – Cells and Stars, New York (2008/09) and Stars and Snow, Engadine (2010) – her drawings join the fragile and delicate to the cosmic.
