In addition to the sculptures, six works on paper will be presented in the booth, all made in 2020. Using a technique she has used since the 1970s, Chase-Riboud creates different graphic formations pierced directly onto paper using silk thread, reminiscent of handwriting or hieroglyphics. A celebrated poet and writer, the artist approaches these works similarly to her automatic writings and poems, akin to a visual, surrealist train of thought, also reflected in the titles of the works, such as ‘One who has loved, remembers that he has loved...’ and ‘l fall away from distant stars.’ Speaking of handwriting in her work, the artist says ‘They are parts of drawings. I mean, they are handwriting and they are drawings done with fiber, but also as a kind of repetition of the kind of handwriting I used as embellishment for the charcoal drawings. The drawings and the poetry are one. They are almost inseparable. I never know where one begins and where one ends.’
