A collection of recent works on paper by Dominique Prévost & Sharon Dembo.
Circles by Dominique Prévost
Patterns are traces of compression, expansion and friction. Close inspection shows how matter reacts and meshes together under specific conditions.
Making marbled patterns is a highly addictive and labour-intensive process. Since each paper captures the inks in a unique manner, culling intricate lines and colour combinations becomes the game.
My Circle Series started as a simple meditative monochromatic experiment; a way of connecting what flows in our waters, roots and veins. Exuberance and expansion are now also at play!
In Motion by Sharon Dembo
In 2021 I purchased a metal mannequin to make a dress out of Washi, Japanese handmade paper. Then I began to imagine how to convey dance and movement with it. I used an expressionist style of applying colour, using the hotbox (designed by Paula Roland) and wax paints. These were the two inspirations for my show.
