Fente: Series of eight


I call this sequence: Fente.  In french this means" a chink, a slit, a fissure, a cleft".   I have always been interested in the hidden, the secret, the unknown, behind the closed door... etc.  

When I take a hike in the mountains, I feel I want to explore the little holes in the rocks and I envision something living in there….. which is often the case.  In my garden,  everything is someone's home.  

Again I am using a resistant material, inks and textures like sand and the walls of my studio (yes, you heard right!) in the paintings. I wanted to create texture here.   Inks and acrylic have been used for a "nacre" effect, close to nature.
