“In her Flowery Fissures, Lausanne-based artist Maude Sauvage highlights the complexity of human wounds through the technique of Japanese printmaking. The irregularities found in the wood are transformed and sublimated by the artist in this series of prints made in yellow, her favorite color.”
Chloé Cordonier
Split a piece of wood and what will you find?
It is about encountering the living, material world, but transcending it.
It is about being the tree, rooted in the earth, but reaching towards the sky.
It is about suggesting the depth of time, but also the present moment.
“Trees and forests were considered the greatest gift that the earth had given to man.”
Pliny the Elder
