KATHERINE DUCLOS CALVING AND RETREAT 2022 24 x 30”
PROJECT STATEMENT
This piece was made with the leftover palette skins from recent self portraits. These peels are a record of a process. They are the tangible leftovers. The act of keeping them, sorting them and recontextualizing them into new work, is a form of documentation of the artist’s thought process and practice. She peels them off the palette and even the tiniest ones get saved. They all play a role. There are hundreds in this piece. Collectively, they have power, but even on their own, they offer a moment of contemplation. The title of the pieces, Calving and retreat, refers to the process of icebergs splitting and breaking, a natural process that has intensified due to climate change.
