#loosing oneself

[paintingyear1lsad]

Eva Jospin creates strange & beguiling woodlands. She questions landscape, how it is depicted & uses cardboard as her medium to sculpt her “Forests”.

There are correlations between her material & subject matter. She uses this rudimentary, brittle and fragile-looking material, to return it to a tree & thus the forest. The forest evokes many associations amongst them: loosing oneself, fairytales, narrative & mythology.

“The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be noticed.”

Soren Kierkegaard
