“My research on the relationship between the individual, the body and the world, continues with a powerful emergence of forms of nature. The body, the flesh and nature merge in a formal complexity where ‘the flesh of the world’ is revealed. My creative process is a constant negotiation between intuition and reason. The dynamic relationship between colour and drawing underpins the ethos of my work. Through the vibrant dialogue composed of colour and gestural forms, a multiplicity of narrative potential unfolds gradually. These narratives are anchored in a theoretical breeding ground. The ‘new’ philosophy of nature, the ancient myth of Erysichthon, Pierre de Ronsard’s Forest of Gastine and the paintings by Hieronymus Bosch all played a role in this series. Throughout this dialogue, the borders between plants, animals and humans instituted by language and the senses begin to fade. Interconnections are revealed, hierarchies are erased. A narration of the particularity of complex beings then emerges.”
