These past representations and their alterations nonetheless take shape again from this erasure, in this entropic process in suspense, in this slow erosion of the pictorial fabric revealing its secrets ... There emerge fragments of mythical, legendary or mythological images, tragedies forgotten, ancient representations obscurely present. A rise in time; a "formerly" laid bare, still inscribed in the material...fragments of representation, ghostly remains, which seem to resurface from the bottom , covered, erased, repainted; so many lost images, taken in the leaf of the painting.
