Jeanne François

I am made of landscapes. As I am moving through different grounds the houses I lived in distort in my memory. My works are images of childhood homes, of homes we borrow, homes we build ourselves in, homes we leave, homes we stay stuck in, homes we dream of. I am thinking about remains - about how we build ourselves despite our environ- ment and because of it, how we abandon layers, put pieces back together, recraft ourselves in a constant loss of home.

Much like the concept of deterritorialization, developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, I am looking at representing the distortion that happpens when one leaves a territory, and by that movement, constitutes and extends the territory itself.
