Statement
Her work poses questions about the sign’s meaning and the notion of originality. The technique used is collage, and it is based on a meticulous survey on design the artist has been documenting since 1990. Using fragments of those files, she seizes printed images stripping them of their identity in order to give them new readings. Thereby, an image, although evident, may become as ambiguous and polysemic as a word.
