Depression

Fourth work in a series which seeks to express the anxieties, the questions, the doubts, the beginnings of answers in our relationship to the world.
This is the antagonism of the work "Expansion". Here outside, the black world invades everything, making all color disappear. The lava, this inner fire that flows within us, is no longer dried up or cooled. And the black flows cover us little by little, locking us in a gangue-prison.

Collage is a liberating medium for the artist Christine Barone, when she wishes to express sensations, inner and violent feelings; when words and figurative forms are no longer sufficient, when they confine and reduce one's intuition.
Freed from concepts, preconceived images and all judgment, the material, mixed with color, becomes cathartic expression.
