Maïté

Jane

I am a mixed media artist with a passion for the analog, a drive for experimentation and a love of paper. After obtaining my master's degree in architecture, I explored other artistic fields such as set design, illustration, collage, photography and cyanotype.I seek for new expectations and unusual perspectives.Questions calling for other questions.Playing with the borders of reality has always been one of my favorite games. And by doing so, I constantly discover an entire new realm of possibilities. Real possibilities.Trespassing the limits of dimensions, time and space, the laws of physics and anatomy helps me to understand what we as humans are looking for. It allows me to experience new levels of connection.Gender and gender expectations is one of my focuses.A collage is on itself a deconstruction in which images and its narratives are cut apart and reassembled into new discourses. With some of my series, I intend to do the same on the gender level.I’m checking my privileges and disadvantages and re-signifying the systemic symbols internalized through education, society and culture. I try to question the given narrative and offer an image of a fairer world, where people are free to be true to themselves.
