Sedimentation 2005 #2

Work description and interpretation
Overlapping layers of colours.
Series description and interpretation
Sedimentations
Each painting starts with a layer of red. I start from the red, not the white page. I ingrain the canvas with the substance I am made of. Then I begin to sediment, one layer on top of the other. The gesture is always the same: spreading fluid substance on a two-dimensional surface until I’ve covered almost all of it, but not completely. The process declares itself: at the top there is a border that recounts the passage of all the colours that have led me to that last layer. Each “Sedimentation” is like the fragment of a painting that develops over time and that is painted infinitely.
