Nous sommes de cette étoffe dont les rêves sont faits IIfocuses on ‘pictorial coat detachment’, a procedure engineered by the artist over a year-long period, which involves applying restoration techniques onto the surface of an object. It signifies a moment in which the repetitive gestures applied by the artist, permits the form and medium to surrender and adopt an alternative attitude, therefore marking an invention of materiality.

The invented material forms, presented in epistemological display boxes, are contained behind reflective glass, allowing the spectator to be conscious of their presence in the gallery space, the onlooker’s reflection becoming a layer superimposed onto the surface of the object. One sees themselves as impressions on the artworks.

The present work could be mutually viewed as being interactive, as well as a form of symbolism of the human condition. Its poetic title which translates into English as “We Are Made of the Fabric Dreams are Made of” hints to a positive, idealistic message referring to the dreamer present in most of us.
