Constructions

Taken as a whole, “Constructions” are half-paintings, half-sculptures, often inspired by text which may be overt or hidden. The first “constructions” originated in Japan (1986-1989), were inspired by the demolition of a friend’s traditional Japanese home. The night before, Chaussette gathered: everyday Japanese objects, sliding windows and doors, ceremonial altars or sanbos, etc. These objet trouve were turned into a series of works for an exhibition, re-inventing a new visual language about Japanese life from the viewpoint of a foreigner.
