Bivouac, Elizabeth Querbes (third)








Between installation, sculpture, painting vanities , Ikebana, weaving women claimed as such,

" LIVING THE WORLD

My practice is diversified but focused primarily on sculpture, assemblage, installation. I use materials "small" branches, boards, clothing, fabrics, objects, most often found ... Bundles, packages, accessories are placed on makeshift skateboards.
Contemporary Vanities, these pieces evoke the precariousness, the ephemeral nature of life, migration ...

Wrap, wrap, tie, sew, sculpt it.
J'habille branches; layers overlap, the parts made crowded ...

The bundle is the baggage of those who may carry on his journey than what is essential to its survival or what he is strongly attached. His hidden content solicits the imagination of the viewer.

recently appeared shapes evoking both tents, flags, umbrellas rolled, furled but also natural growths.
At these facilities, in addition to any projections of photographs of plants and landscapes. "

Andre Breton (1896-1966)  fasciné par la culture Hopi  a collectionné les kachinas

(Sur cette collection, un article personnel, écrit en 2007 , ici)

Le mystérieux et passionnant roman de Claudie Galley , Dans l'or du temps , titre son titre  d'une formule d'André Breton in le Manifeste du Surréalisme- à connotation alchimique  -et s'inspire de la rencontre de celui-ci avec la civilisation Hopi.

(La phrase  " I'm looking for golden time, " chosen for the announcement of the death of Andre Breton is inscribed on his tomb in the cemetery of Batignolles, see here )
