About this series
6 paintings on canvas, whose signs fly away and “migrate” beyond the frame, signaling both its beyond and its within.
What Micheline LO said about it
Six new Pathways of the Scriptures, whose obliquely flying away signs have once again gone beyond the scope of the frame,
to the point of leading to the current title [migrations].
What Henri VAN LIER said about it
It has been shown that, in this approach, the frame is a levee against reflux,
from which (re)sequenciations flow back onto the whole surface in superimpositions.
Yet, with this in mind, something is missing from those living formations, that is,
the movement that causes one generation to give way to the one that follows,
just as it ousted the one that came before, so that the living is never more than a relay in sequences of one-and-nevermore.
The painter therefore was bound to use the frame, if only in a few of her paintings, as a relay to show the beyond as much as the within, something the frame could not of itself indicate and that supposes that the framed events should present themselves as Migrations. We would still have living formations, but characterized by an availability to deletion, more prone to disappearance than to fecundity, and in a pictorial option highly suggestive to designatory Mains, always elsewhere than where they are. It is quite possible that this was prompted by circumstances of the painter's life. In October 2000, her breast cancer that in the past seven years had responded to moderate therapy now required a monthly, and then weekly dose of chemotherapy, and the end of life was no longer a vague and common point in time. Any individuation thus became a temporary loop among much vaster migrations. |
