EN

For DARK MATTER and its large-scale counterpart EVENT HORIZON, ink and charcoal seep through the weave of printed fabric — silkscreened fabric printed from images of the HEADLESS painting series (see monograph). The support is porous, the image no longer belongs to a single side. Hung recto-verso, the works allow visible and hidden to coexist within the same surface. Pigment passes through the weave, reappearing altered. Opacity becomes a condition of relation rather than concealment – the surface acting as a membrane rather than a screen.

Pour DARK MATTER  et son équivalent grand format EVENT HORIZON, l’encre et le fusain traversent la trame du tissu imprimé — sérigraphié à partir d’images issues de la série de peintures HEADLESS (voir monograph). Le support est poreux, l'image n'appartient plus à une seule face. Suspendues en recto-verso, les oeuvres font coexister le visible et le caché au sein d’une même surface. Le pigment passe à travers la trame et réapparaît altéré. L’opacité devient condition de relation plutôt que dissimulation – la surface agissant comme membrane plustôt que comme écran.
