About this artwork
I was quite good in my youth in the sack race event: it requires good athletic disposition and a particularly sure sense of balance. It is precisely the impression of the sack race that emerges from this piece: a movement which must be dynamic, although it is hampered. It is in fact the condition of the painter that emerges here: to give the feeling of life and movement, while being limited by the fixity of the image which inevitably stops and freezes… this movement. Hence the obvious conclusion: painting is a sack race. But just because you're good at sack racing doesn't mean you're necessarily just as good at painting...
The materials I use—most often reclaimed textiles—already carry within them tensions, a weariness, a memory. They don't allow themselves to be molded: they resist, elude me, maintain their own directions. One must negotiate with them. As soon as they are fixed to the support, something is lost. Constrained, the material no longer moves. It flattens, deprived of the momentum that animated it. Its presence remains, but as if suspended. This is where color comes in. It acts as a developer. With color, the fibers visually detach from the background, gain depth, seem to rise and move. What appeared frozen regains its intensity, begins to evolve in space. It's not about depicting anything, but about transfiguring what is already there. Color doesn't create any form. It shifts the gaze, reveals a depth, an energy, a movement already latent. Through it, what seemed inert comes back to life.
