Reverse paintings
"I paint on the reverse side of a transparent vinyl (later affixed to canvas stretchers). Any tactile sign is, this way, erased from the work. No pictoral matter remains, just a mirror surface. I give the painting an ambiguous identity by intending it to work just as a facsimile of itself.
I deliberately focus on the production system of a painting, on the way it is perceived as an object. Nevertheless, without being reduced to a process, through different series, I want the work allowed to change indefinitely and open itself to any potentiality."
New York, 1995
