| After working for many years in glass (Chez les soeurs blanches - 1980). Lemieux in the 90’s started working with neoprene rubber (Deux Tuniques - 1990) In the early 2000's tired of using a material as heavy as neoprene, she used natural latex rubber. Natural latex unlike neoprene rubber, ages and disintegrates quickly. Eva Hesse’s latex sculpture from the sixties, within a short period of time, oxygenated to the point of often being too brittle to exhibit. From 2003 to 2007 Lemieux uses latex for its qualities of impermanence and deterioration. The scans (Skinslips 2003-2005) are both digital drawings about and witnesses to, this process. Other drawings from 1988 onward, are watercolour, pencil, ink or gouache on paper. |
