BIJOUX with a HOLE ….
un trou …. pas juste un trou, mais une cassure, une brisure, une faille, un « défaut », une « petite destruction », une blessure, un manque, un « manqué » …
Mais aussi une ouverture, une fenêtre …. vers un ailleurs, vers un « regard sur soi », vers une introspection, vers ce qu’on a (d’)enfermé et qu’on laisse (enfin) sortir/voir/respirer/s’épancher ….
Comme le dit Joo Hyung Park, « Beauty (is) in Imperfection » ….. Même discourspour Brooke Marks-Swanson : « « I am drawn to the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. ….. My object is to cause the viewer to speculate, imagine and to investigate… »

Brooke Marks-Swanson - back of a brooch – copper, fabricated and painted « I am drawn to the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. Aerial photographs of hurricanes above water are stunning and seductive. The soft spiral and eye inform of terror and devastation. My object is to cause the viewer to speculate, imagine and to investigate,in a personal way, those issues relative to a sense of beauty, which drives the focus
of my research. »
