Escande Ghislaine

Born in 1952, France
Lives and works in Paris area (Ivry-sur-Seine)

Since 1990, has been exclusively working from scraps of old paper marouflaged on wood or canvas with slight touches of acrylic paint and the use of the glacis technique.
The paper material is quite common remains of individual and collective memory (maps, books ...).
They are serial work and sets of themes around the concepts of petrification, relic, survival and abandonment, then of space and time, of portrait, individual or collective and of planetary landscape. The relation between truth and the forgery, reality and its image is strongly present there.
