Does Queen Do Caravan

Bivouac, Elizabeth Querbes (2 / 3)


Impressions of travel:


Movement / immobility
Passage and break
Masculine / Feminine

vast desert / space intimate
Aridity and scents
Materials poor and refined
Symmetry and balance


Blue declined on different tones:
Indigo, the Tuareg?
China Blue Light Blue
become a sweater backpack
World Mongols and the Sami people

Branches
laid bare of their bark skinned
ligated
Something skeleton reveals
While the full forms
Round
chubby
Heavy-jowled
Ventrue
bellied
hint at the bowels

And his umbrella blanks,
Memories of Hokusai?

Visitng Scedule For Rikersisland

Bivouac, Elizabeth Querbes (third)








Between installation, sculpture, painting vanities , Ikebana, weaving women claimed as such,
Bivouac
could have been arranged at the center of the gallery.

It soon appeared that his place needed against the white wall, the objects to find support, the dominant blue necessarily calling a bottom in clear contrast, work on the symmetry axis in need of.

" 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. "
