Description
From Shadow to Light
Mots dits, mots tus (Spoken Words, Silent Words) is a unique textile artwork from the From Shadow to Light collection that explores communication and language. Unlike other pieces in the series, this work stems from both conceptual and material research rather than intuitive quilt-style improvisation, expressing the weight of words and the silence that often accompanies them.
Christine layered translucent organza in subtle tones, creating light and depth effects reminiscent of watercolor. Soft colors blend and flow, following the movement of the hair and the words floating above the figures. The transparency of the fabric reflects the fragility of honest communication, which is often difficult to achieve.
The two half-faces are introspective: one with an open mouth, the other closed and stitched with black thread in an X, illustrating dialogue, unspoken words, and the complexity of human relationships. Words printed on the organza — word, silence, story, love, truth, soul, secret, lies, speech — intertwine in the composition, guiding the viewer’s gaze and inviting meditation on communication and inner listening.
Mots dits, mots tus can be hung in front of a window or light source to fully reveal its depth.
