Sedimentation 2010 #51

Overlapping layers of colours.
This painting is one of the 40 "Sedimentations", is part of "One diary leads to another" given as exchange for the contribution at the project.
This work is only a fragment of the whole. It is as though each owner only possesses a piece of it. It can only be given to someone else through a donation or an inheritance and cannot be sold.

Sedimentations
Each painting starts with a layer of red. I start from the red, not the white page. I ingrain the canvas with the substance I am made of. Then I begin to sediment, one layer on top of the other. The gesture is always the same: spreading fluid substance on a two-dimensional surface until I’ve covered almost all of it, but not completely. The process declares itself: at the top there is a border that recounts the passage of all the colours that have led me to that last layer. Each “Sedimentation” is like the fragment of a painting that develops over time and that is painted infinitely.
