Dangerous Liaisons, 2013,
pin-pricks on handmade Japanese paper, 16 drawings,
dimensions variable.

In Dangerous Liaisons, I have used two letters –one of Viscount de Valmont and one from Marquise de Merteuil- from the epistolary novel “Les Liaisons dangereuses” by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. I have used a pin to transcribe those two letters on several pieces of folded Japanese paper. I then unfolded the paper to reveal different random motifs, which allude to decorative embroidery found in linen, or handkerchiefs, and I placed the pieces on the wall, to comment on the two lovers’ seduction web of mischief and pain woven through such delicate and fine material.

Family Reunion, 2009,
pin-pricks on paper, 70cmx100cm.

In Family Reunion I used an excerpt of T.S.Eliot’s play, and its form simulates that of a table where the family comes together. The text is made by punctures of pin on paper.

In Hush, I used accounts of dreams, in S.Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams.

Orestes & Iphigenia, 2013,
pin-pricks on paper, 76cm x 110cm

In Orestes and Iphigenia, I have used the dialogue the two siblins have until they recognize each other.

Ma Chère Maman, 2014, detail

In Ma Chère Maman I have transcribed five letters of Marcel Proust to his mother using a pin to puncture the paper. I folded the paper in various ways as if making an envelope and transcribed each letter using a pin to puncture on each folded paper. When unfolded, the paper reveals a random motif, which alludes to decorative embroidery found in linen, or handkerchiefs.
