Cartographic Signs: Uncertain Destination series

Cartographic Signs: Uncertain Destination

2021-2025

These series derive from the Sanguine series found in the Past section. In Three Paths on AluminiumOrange Flame, Night Time Labyrinth and Glass Labyrinth the artist is using wider lines in the “weave” and the “threads” are kept at a larger distance. The intention is always to keep an equidistance between the lines. The artist is still using gouache on paper, on semi transparent vellum for Orange Flame and Glass Labyrinth. In Orange Flame two sheets are placed together creating depth, framed between two panes of glass. For Night Time Labyrinth black and dark gray watercolour paper is being used. Glass Labyrinth has been documented placing a darker piece of paper behind to facilitate documentation. In Three Paths-Round the works were made with gouache on aluminum.
The documentation shows only a sample of the works in the series.

In all of these works the artist continues her quest of painting and re-painting a cartographic sign embedded with the experiences of exile, memory and emigration: a sustained and unceasing gesture. A gesture that brings to mind labyrinth like marks and brain configurations. These paintings of meandering paths tentatively bring the artist closer in revealing an uncertain destination.
