GOLD ON GOLD

Dans cette série de gravures j'explore la notion de l'identité, composée dans le regard de l'autre, dans son aspect physique et culturel. Ni double ni identique, l'autre nous renvoie une image dans laquelle on cherche une ressemblance et ainsi la différence.
La pensée – symbolisée par le cerveau – nous rend la 'possibilité' d'offrir attention à l'autre.
Entre le moi et moi-même, entre le moi et l'autre, entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur, entre ici et là - souffrance et désir, proximité et éloignement sont liés indissociablement.
Ironie ou sérieux, on en perd parfois la tête.
Précisément cette tête, si proche et néanmoins si inaccessible.

In this series of engravings I explore how we find our identity in the eyes of the other; both fhysically and culturally. We discover ourselves through others and in them we seek what we have in common, and thus how we differ.
