About the Little Ones

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A modern tale full of rage and poetry, an ode to the capacity for transformation and self-determination of women and young girls. During a trip to a wonderful land dominated by tool creatures, two little girls go to war against productivism and the standards imposed on them. They transform themselves, find refuge and advice from their elders, take care of their sisters and their dead. They thus discover the power of sisterhood, and with it another relationship within themselves, to nature, to death. They will become giant, furious, ready to destroy everything. Zoé Jusseret works in collage and monotype. Line or patterns are obtained by transfer, cut out, glued and added to form landscapes. Each print bears the precise trace of a gesture, retaining the intensity and texture of the layers of paint. In this wordless story, contemplation and lyricism naturally find their place. The astonishing or frightening figures that appear are immediately accepted. What emerges, from the start to the crescendo, is what is most beautiful in human nature, in the feminine condition and resistance, what is most natural in death and rebellion. Mature

Autorenporträt

Zoé Jusseret was born in Belgian Lorraine in 1987. She started drawing at a young age. After courses at the Academy of Fine Arts in Marche-en-Famenne she enrolled, somewhat by chance, at the Saint-Luc Institute in Brussels. There she discovered monotype, a technique that she particularly liked. Her world is both dark and delicate. Her stories, tinged with anguish, defy easy categorization but they evoke the difficulty of being in the world. She currently lives in Vancouver, BC.
