'Messagerie' - Musée des Beaux-Art de Dijon, 6 May 2010 - 3 January 2011

I was invited to make work in response to the Permanent Collection of the Musée des Beaux-Art de Dijon. I focused on some paintings containing banderols with text inscribed on them – the great-grandfather of the comic-book speech bubble.
I made work in several media – acrylic on canvas, printed text on linen, digital animation and video.
