Mise en Scène
These works are the result of a project that involved working from a life model in the interiors of two Paris museums in the Marais district: principally, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature (a private museum of hunting and nature) and the Musée Carnavalet, which is devoted to the history of Paris from its origins to recent times.
A naked figure in a museum interior is a meeting of worlds: the out-of-context collected, the time capsule furnishings, the interiority of the mind (private) inside the exterior body (public) and all of them in various composed relationships. This three-way interchange fuels contradiction, quixotic associations and matter of fact oddities. When painted, the figure is just as inanimate as it’s surroundings, rendering woman and polar bear a credible couplet.
