Boudoir: noun. bou·doir ˈbüd-ˌwär ˈbu̇d- : a woman's dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room. Etymology. from French boudoir "lady's dressing room," literally, "a place to sulk," from bouder "to sulk" Merriam-Webster Dictionary |
‘The Boudoir’ ushers the viewer into an intimate environment, a room that impresses with its sense of peace and tranquility. Corine van Hoeve and Susan Barton-Tait’s exhibition presents an atmosphere where personal discoveries are made and explorations occur . Susan’s sculpture creates an illusion of strength. She creates a formal structure from rustic materials to examine chaos in daily life. The cast paper furniture and embossed paper carpet are produced with handmade paper, cast from actual objects. The sculptures have ephemeral qualities that allude to the delicate balance between relationships and the environment. Since each sculpture is fragile and transitory, a portrait celebrates its essence. |
