Cataplasme
2022
Medicinal clay, paper fiber, pigments
24 x 20 cm
The "Cataplasme" edition is the result of the artist's research into the cataplasm, a therapeutic clay-based slurry - today considered a grandmother's remedy - applied between two fabrics to an inflamed area of the body. Through this research, Gourdon questions our relationship to disciplines and skills considered 'feminine', 'passive' or 'minor' such as decoration and ornamentation, leisure and craft, alternative medicine and mysticism.
