Blueprint at GUS Gallery - Out of the Blue

The princess also miraculously generates worlds with her brush. They come into being ‘out of the blue’, which means ‘from nowhere’ or ‘from left field’ – unexpectedly. She paints herself in repeated acts of self-generation: the artist begets her own consciousness through the materiality of paint and brush and canvas. The artist thinks herself into being. She inscribes but is also inscribed upon, she is an extension of the discourse of order, she is a proponent of codes that describe how the world is made, but also how it falls apart.
