„Someone throws an arrow, and it falls,
and someone comes to pick it up
and throws it somewhere else“
Gilles Deleuze in his Abécédaire
My work are the results of supple but determined gestures.
Gestures of the hand which writes words, builds images, embroiders. Gestures of the body
which dons a piece of clothing, which moves around and exposes itself. And those whole
gestures of the individual that speaks up and involves its own singularity.
What remains is the result of the instant, the visible face of the accomplished gesture.
In gesture, there is movement. There is impulse.
And bringing into action. On one's own or with others.
A shift in point of view, an activated thought, an enthusiasm follow.
I use various tools borrowing the strategies from both art and design: performances in the city,
screen printed clothing, embroideries and paper installations.
They create a specific dynamic: they influence each other, respond mutually and circulate by
drawing loops and rebounds. Together, they allow me to spread my images in different contexts
and relationships to the audience — from the street into the gallery and from the gallery on to
the street.
My works craft subtle lines between the intimate and the political: emotional clothes worn in
everyday life, words carried on the body into the city, actions of individuals exploring their
locatedness within the collective.
Indicating our astonishment, our questions and desires in face of the world, they create
metaphors to express what motivate us and the streams that run through us. My works are
located in the place where the private and the public impress each other and reinvent themselves.
It is by stepping into the world with that one can grasp it and inscribe oneself into it. |
