3sj Tissues d'ombres, Stephanie Jacques, print on canvas, wool embroidery, 35.5" x 35.5", 2014

Stéphanie Jacques of Belgium works in a variety of media. She uses volume to give life to an unfilled interior space in her vessels and prints. This space allows her to speak of something other than what is shown by the visible form: the movements of the body, the desire, the intuitions, a certain savagery, something that remains alive despite everything, that pushes from the inside, cracks the carapaces, overflows.
