paste – paper – pigment: messages cling to the material of my works, one atop the other;
time is preserved, possibilities consolidate.
layer by layer.
my material is the paper shell of advertising columns: a revolution in outdoor advertising.
my archaeology finds, it does not seek: décollage instead of reconstruction.
convex/ concave.
i dig my way into advertising promises. diachronically.
i trace the material structures of their surfaces. synchronically.
i discover colors, shapes, words, structures. simultaneously.
my aesthetic investigation balances in the layers of material: my decisions.
layer below layer wants to be revealed: color exposure instead of color application.
layer by layer.
what is fragment, fresco, painting? what is object, picture, sculputure?
if only françois dufrêne and raymond hains could see my works!
