In my practice, I use epoxy resin to fill carved drawings in different surfaces, wood and aluminum panels as well as cookwares and more recently books. The drawings I use in my work are collected in newspapers, magazines or via photography.
I combine the drawing and the support to prepare an object with the least traces of my intervention, ready to receive the resin in a final and irreversible action.
The carved drawings are filled with pigmented resin to obtain a bulging area, close to overflow. The relief of resin creates on the surface an area reflecting and absorbing light, visually unpredictable.
I work with a variety of appearances inherent to the human body. the drawings are presented without reference, isolated areas of colored substance, recognized or not as depictions of human bodies. I look forward to bring the viewer to consider the possibility for fluidity within, to question the definition of the body as we perceive it .Offering different lectures and inherent potentials.
The need to identify, to recognize, seems to always call for a story. Bringing us aware (or not) of how much we dread the void and feel compelled to cast this space with meaning and resolution.
