Monique Mouton “Inner Chapters”
Bridget Donahue
This event has ended.
Hermione picked up the thin grey envelope lying in the creased summer material of her flowered dress. A tiny bow of the same flowered material chafed at her throat. She pulled at the round opening of the same material, fanned herself vigorously with the thin wide square of foreign paper.
—H.D., HERmione
One cut becomes the first gesture that initiates two paintings. The surface could be considered just another edge, the one that’s facing you. Paint elaborates this surface-edge, along with other materials, movement, time. There’s an elastic continuum to how the paintings are made as the thresholds layer on top of each other.
